C Section vs Natural

Ash

Wondering if anyone has had a straight forward, natural birth for their first and then c section for second? My first labour was textbook however bub number 2 is foot breech so we need to attempt ECV (manual turn) next week, which I have heard can be quite painful. If that doesn’t work it will be a c section. I am scared for the recovery aspect of c section so after any feedback on one vs other??
