What is harder a C-section or natural birth?

Question

Women who had C-sections did you fall in love with your baby right away even without the natural endorphins you feel with natural birth

Answer

This is my theory and please mums dont get me wrong in any way. Every woman is a hero when it comes to safely delivering a child into the world no matter what way. 
Natural birth is harder but faster recovery
C-section is easier but harder longer recovery.

Answer

(This is only my opinion that I am sharing because of my own experiences)....NONE OF THIS will matter when you see your baby for the first time,  and when you hold your baby for the first time! Those "natural endorphins" don't just go away because your baby was cut out instead of pushed out. You still carried the baby for 9 months so that connection is already there. There is no easy way to deliver. A C section is a major surgery. Whichever way, it will still be painful, scary, exciting,  and also the most amazingly beautiful experience you will ever remember. ❤ Good luck to you!

Answer

I've had 2 vaginal births and 2 c sections. Personally I had a harder time bonding with my c section babies at first because the recovery was difficult and the pain meds made me sleepy and spacey. So I loved them, but it took a little longer vs my vaginal births I felt like I could just jump right in.  But they're older now, my youngest is 1.5, and I feel no differently about them now.

Answer

I had a c section due to breech little man.
I didn't have any problems with recovery or bonding with baby.
It was a great experience

Answer

I had a c section & I wasn’t able to see my baby until almost an hour after she was born because I was shaking so bad & vomiting during the surgery. It did make it a little harder to bond at first but within 24 hours I was in love.

Answer

I've only had csections and they aren't bad as long as you take your pain medication. There's more restrictions on what you can do after because you have to allow your incision to heal but it's not that painful unless you cough, laugh, other sharp movements. 
Both my sisters had vaginal births and also said their deliveries were pretty pain free once they got the epidural. One had a pretty bad tear and couldn't take pain meds due to bad reactions to them so her recovery sucked.
So idk...it doesn't really seem either is harder, they both have  pain control options. Vaginal deliveries tend to take longer but quicker recovery. C-section is quick delivery but longer recovery.

Answer

I have only had a c-section. 
I think both are hard for their own reasons. To me there is no one harder than the other.  
I loved my son before he was born but the heard time I heard him cry called my heart with so much joy and love. I got to hold him a little later and I did want to let him go. He is my joy

Answer

C section here ( breech baby )
Definitely fell in love immediately. Recovery is hard... physically trying to get to baby is a process because of pain on movement. You can't really lift anything or drive. 
If I had the choice I'd definitely try for a vaginal birth next time around - with epidural haha

Answer

To me it was recovering from c section. Where it was closed up hurt when I had to pee let alone try to poop for the next 72 hours. Had the nurses had to come in and help change her for me cuz I couldnt even sit up in bed without someone pulling me up. Cpuldnt stand up straight or sit up straight for almost 72 hours. Thr c section hurt my abdominal area and back only during my recovery. Imma try fpr vbac this pregnancy

Answer

It's hard to say as every birth is different. 
With my third I was in labor for 24 hours,  epidural did nothing. It was 2 months before I could walk/sit without pain. I was miserable for weeks. 
My cousins wife had a c section. She showed up to the hospital, got the spinal block,  had the surgery and 2 weeks later was fine. Never felt a single contraction,  didn't need to worry about the trying to push a baby out,  30 minutes of laying on a table and her baby was here. 
Her recovery was also much faster than mine and because of her c section,  she had several family members stay at her house to help her for weeks. Because I had a vaginal birth it was "no big deal" and I "should be fine already"
So yeah,  I'm a bit angry that just because someone has a c section everyones like oh you poor thing and I ripped my whole vagina from one end to the other but it's nothing. She also got pain killers and I got nothing. My stitches werent even beginning to dissolve at 6 weeks PP,  and she was completly fine at her 6 week check up. Every birth and every recovery is different and it's hard to say for sure which one is harder. It's safer not to compare the two.
