More and more first time moms are scheduling for c-section  even when they is no medical reason to do so. However medical organizations do not recommend unnecessary cesarean sections.

Some women believe that scheduling  delivery is more convenient  than waiting for labor  and childbirth.  This makes it easy for them to arrange for maternity leave and extra help at home. Some others  do it because they believe cesarean  will help minimize the pain and certain complications such as tearing, incontinence or sexual dysfunction that are associated with vaginal delivery.

Medical organizations recommend that women plan for vaginal delivery whenever possible even if the  doctor  is  willing to perform a cesarean.

There is no evidence that c-section is a safer than vaginal delivery. However it is known that it can be more risky if you end up having more than one child.
