RE: VAGINAL BIRTH MAY BE NATURAL, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S BEST FOR YOU

Before stating your opinion, it would be good to look at the numbers. In 3 min, Google tells me this:

http://birthwithoutfearblog.com/2011/10/26/risk-for-mother-higher-with-cesarean-birth/

"In the UK they found the case fatality rate for all caesarean sections is six times that for vaginal delivery, and even for elective caesarean section the rate is almost three times as great. These differences are highly significant. In the absence of other evidence (eg, from randomised controlled trials of different modes of delivery), it is not appropriate to be dogmatic about best practice, but any decision to undertake major surgery with an associated mortality should be taken very seriously by all concerned."

So, unless your life or you baby's danger, I wouldn't go for C-section!
