Wow that's odd, like 1 day is going to make that much difference to them! Yeah I don't see a point in going through days or hours and hours of labour when you don't have to. It would be like choosing to get a tooth ripped out with no needle, I say take the easiest option. My body could do the same thing and end up needing a c-section anyway. I think it's less stressful which is obviously better for the baby and mother. And all those hours in labour could be spent cuddling the baby that has already been born :)
