Boston terrier breeding

Question
My Boston terrier is due tomorrow.  Last breeding we chose to have an ellective section because she was due on a weekend and the vet doesn't do emergency weekend calls.  Is it ok to let her attempt to have a natural birth this time or should I be looking for a different vet?  Would love a reply ASAP.  She's my baby and don't want to risk loosing her or her pups.  She isn't having any problems as of yet, and the vet last time said she could probably have had them naturally but I'm an over protective mommy.  Advice please....

Thanks,
Ginger

Answer
Hi Ginger, Many Bostons do better with C-Sections.  If it was me, I would do the C-Section.
I am over protective too.  The Boston's head are so large..  The only way you can know for sure is by doing an ultrasound and the vet taking measurements of the heads.  Can they pass thru the pelvic floor?  Depends.
I would do the C-section.
JUST my opinion
