If you have kids which one hurt less ?

Question

My SO wants kids but I’m scared of the labor process and want to know what hurts less or easy to recover from

Answer

I’ve had vaginal and a c section. C section was so terrible. I’d have a vaginal delivery any day. Both are hard and everyone is different but imo the overal c section and healing was a lot worse than my vaginal delivery.

Answer

The recovery from a csection isnt easy. You can’t lift anything heavier than-your baby for 6-10 weeks. You can’t exercise properly incase you pull the stitches. You feel like the bottom half of your body isn’t fully connected with the top half. It’s definitely not an easy way out, I don’t recommend it.

Answer

I prefer c-section. No pain, fast recovery 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I had a natural vaginal birth. The second the baby was out there was no more pain. I left the hospital a few hours later and was a little sore but totally fine.

Answer

I can’t comment on both, as I’ve only had a c section, but I had a wonderful experience, and a super fast recovery. 4 days after surgery (1 day after I got home), I stopped taking the pain meds because I just didn’t need them. I was back to normal within 2 weeks, possibly less. Everyone is different. Women are so afraid of c sections because of all the horror stories, but it’s not always like that. 
My mom has one of each and also said she preferred the c section. She told me to move around as much as possible, obviously listen to your body and don’t over do it, but don’t just sit around like you can’t do anything. So that’s what I did and my recovery was a breeze. 
6 years later, I’m pregnant with my second and will have a scheduled c section in October. I’m hoping it will go as well as the last, but you never know, every pregnancy and birth are different.

Answer

I’m scared of the labor process too.  Terrified of epidurals too.  Always have been, but this thing is going down come October.  I would much rather have a vagina delivery than a c section. 
The way I see it, I only get 12 weeks of maternity leave & I would much rather spend it tending to my child than recovering from a child section.  C section is major surgery.  It’s going to take at least 6-8 weeks before you are able to move around properly.  Whereas with a vaginal birth, you are up and about within days.

Answer

Vaginal birth with my first: epidural wore off before I gave birth and I had stitches without local anesthetic as well. I’d rather do that again than opt for a c section. Mommas who have gone through that are brave as shit. It’s a major surgery. A few of my friends have also had c sections where the epidural didn’t take or anesthetic and they could feel everything. If I had the choice, I’d rather feel 100% of a vaginal birth than being cut open🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I use to think the same I was afraid of the pain but I’m expecting my second baby and hopefully is gonna be a natural delivery like the first one.

Answer

If you’re scared of that, maybe adopt or foster maybe?

Answer

Vaginal births hurt more in the moment while c- sections hurt more in recovery.
