So I'm only 16w3d I have an ultrasound April 16th to find out the sex. But my main question is, when do I have to know for certain what I want to do for my birthing plan. I really wanted to have a natural birth but considering that I have herpes and I haven't been able to have sex lately without it really hurting and my area is just uncomfortable in general I don't think it's such a great idea because with my husband being in the military I dont want to get valtrex under our insurance and it's sort of expensive and I can just picture the wost happening and passing it onto my child and having a tear and bleeding out due to my menstrual cycle and then having an outbreak which aren't very comfortable. So I'm thinking maybe i should just plan on having a c-section, but can I automatically say "I want a c-section" or do I have to explain why I want it for them to consider it...I really don't know how these things work....any advice?:
