Your experience with c section vs natural?

Question

Please tell me your experience with a c section versus vaginal delivery?

Answer

I have only have a c section and am praying for a vbac for baby #2. The recovery was incredibly challenging and I had no complications at all. I can't speak to a vaginal delivery but would never elect to go through a c section if presented with both options.

Answer

Loved my c-section!  
Never had a vaginal to compare though. 
My SIL just had a c-section and said it was 1000 times easier than her vaginal 4 years prior.

Answer

I had two c sections and one vaginal birth. I was living my best life the day after vaginal but in so much pain after c sections. My second c section was better than the first bc not emergency but still not pleasant.

Answer

Awful C-section experience. But that was mostly due to the pregnancy and birth complications. Recovering my body was hell and 30 days later is still hard for me to do some basic things. The psychological trauma is worse and harder to fix.
I wanted natural birth and i would never choose c-section if it wasn't for my baby's health. 
Me and my husband wanted at least 2 children but know we are not so sure. But if we decide to have second child i would still do the same - i woud choose natural birth if i have that chance.

Answer

2 vaginal birthday both wonderful experience recovery was a breeze minus being tired for newborn no sleep and breastfeeding lol but everything down there healed fine both times.

Answer

I had a decent csection with my first but the recovery was rough. With my second, I wanted to avoid it because you can’t lift anything over 10 lbs and, now having a toddler, that seemed impossible to avoid. I had a successful VBAC and it was amazing. I enjoyed the labour process I missed the first time, and I literally felt completely normal the next day. I also felt like the baby and I connected more quickly because we were able to just lay there and do skin to skin for like an hour and there wasn’t a million drs and nurses in room. But ultimately do what the dr suggests, you and baby both need to be healthy.

Answer

My experience with csection was actually smooth no complications at all ,quicker recovery and fast healing,no pain.At first I was soo nervous I freaked out when I heard that it was the best option for me,I never like to hear about it but fortunately was the best birth experience for me after having 2 vaginal natural birth before it plus the preterm birth at 24 weeks.For my preterm birth I was in labor for days and end up loosing the baby,second I had a 12+hours painful labor,second also the same excruciating pain and long plus the stitches due to gestational diabetes babies are big and I am under 50kg with small pubic bone (my babies weight are from 3.5kg,3.9kg and 4.2kg) For me no compare

Answer

I have only had a vaginal but I had a 3dt and recovery was awful. I had to take pain meds every 6 hours on the dot for a week or I’d be in unbearable pain. Having a c section for the next one because of complications from the tear

Answer

First was a c section and I had a smooth recovery. I made sure to walk often and take meds on time. Had a VBAC for my second and had a 3rd grade episiotomy which sucked more than the c section because at least with a c section I could sit down without being in pain! But that could also have to do to time gone by and forgetting c section pain and the fact I had a toddler at home second time around. Im going for a 2nd VBAC for my 3rd and hoping the recovery is easier this time around!
