Lisa S. gave birth to her two children by elective caesarean section. She didn’t want to take any unnecessary risks – neither for herself nor for her children. About a self-determined birth of a different kind.

Even as a child, I knew that one day I would give birth to my children by caesarean section. My mother had a pretty difficult birth with me. She often told me about that. I had to be fetched with the pliers and she found it very violent and tore badly in the genital area. She has said that if it had been possible, she would have chosen a cesarean section. Aside from my mom’s stories, I never imagined something that big would come out down there either.
