What are your thoughts on elective c-sections? Anyone with experience?

I am not sure what the main thought on this is - I very badly want to request a c-section, and while I know surgery is a big deal, I've had a lot of elective surgery and they are all very successful.  Also, my mom and husbands mom have had c-sections, as well as THEIR moms - I was 9 lbs, husband was 10 lbs at birth, and I literally have an abnormal fear of vaginal labor,

 Any thoughts/experiences with this?
