Mommies who have had both a c-section and a vaginal delivery which do you prefer?

Question

I am a second time mommy. I had a vaginal delivery with my first and a Cesarean with my second due to medical complications. For mommy’s who have had both which did you prefer? The experiences where insanely different not just physically but also emotionally and I would love to hear if some other mommies feel the same way.

Answer

I've had 2 vaginal births and 2 c sections. I far preferred my vaginal births, especially my 2nd one (pushing was much quicker and easier). I tried for a vbac for #4 but unfortunately it failed and I ended up in another c section. Recovery this time has been a little easier, but after my 2nd v birth I was literally out grocery shopping 3 days later.

Answer

I hated the pain of giving natural birth without any pain medicine. After they were born I felt like I was ready to go home and I had very little vaginal pain. I’d prefer a csection because the natural birth was very traumatic for me.

Answer

I’ve had 2 natural and 3 emergency c sections I tried to have a vbac 8 month ago and midwife failed to see my scar was tearing ended up emergency I’m currently 5 month preg ( we wanted them close hense the try for vbac) and this time will be planned c section as now out of my control I so preferred natural birth recovery much better

Answer

I have had one vaginal which was very difficult as I had retained placenta and hemmoraging after delivery which required 2 blood transfusions. With my second I had a c-section which had minor complications but none like my first. Emotionally, even though I was physically doing better, I wish I delivered vaginally again. I more of a hormonal emotional roller coaster after the c-section than when I delivered vaginally.
