C section question

Bryanna
I am almost 6 months pregnant and having a baby girl. My doctor said I can have a vaginal  birth but since I have some medical complications most people who try to have a vaginal birth end up having a c section. I really don't find any point in going through so much pain with contractions to just find out that I need a c section. I feel better about just sceduling a c section but I am really nervous about the recovery. Can anyone tell me if the recovery is really that horrible after?
