Question

Answer

I’d rather delivery 10 babies in a row vaginally than have a cesarean!!! I much preferred my two unmedicated vaginal deliveries to my one c section recovery. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Answer

My (unplanned) c section recovery was very easy . Didn't even take any pain meds when I got home. Other than the extra restrictions put on a c section, it was pretty smooth. I can see how if you have an existing child it could be difficult those first few weeks. I'll be trying for a VBAC for that reason if we go for another baby. I think it would come down to how good the surgeon is on the c section or how bad a vaginal tear you get. I do think a vaginal birth would have been less painful on the wallet. 😉

Answer

I've done both and vaginal 100%. But I also had a very smooth vaginal delivery. 2 internal stitches. So a very easy recovery.

Answer

Vaginal for $300 Alex! I'll never have a cesarean again in life!!!

Answer

I've never had a c-section but if you think about it...your body is made to give birth vaginally and with a c-section they have to literally cut you open. I tore in 3 places and had an episiotomy, my recovery was AWFUL. 36 hours of agony before they found a combination of pain meds that worked. Then I was in a lot of pain for a couple weeks. I would still choose it over a c-section.

Answer

Knowing the pain I was in post birth from my csection I can tell you 1,000 times I never want to feel that kind of pain between my legs!!! I didn’t think the csection recovery was all that terrible. I only took pain meds a week. It does still hurt sometimes at almost a year but I’ve been able to do some exercises to minimize that.
