12 Things You Can Do to Avoid Having a C-Section
Having had a c-section and now a vaginal birth, I can say the vaginal birth was easier for me, although I did have an epidural, and it helped move things along. Also, if you have a breech baby, try chiropractic treatments and inversion exercises to turn the baby before trying a version. They're less risky and can have just as high a rate of success.

I'm not sure I agree with this article. Turning breech babies can be ok but can also rupture the uterus or detach the placenta- not sure that is less risky than a planned C. I dont want a C, but I sure as heck wouldn't forgo an epidural or medically indicated treatments such as pitocin in the hopes of avoiding an "unnecessary C". After my last extremely complicated childbirth, I can attest that natural birth can be more risky than C sections- though Im trying again to avoid one this time b/c I dont want the longer recovery (or,lets be shallow, the scar).
