FTM trying to make a decision. Based on your own birth experience what would you choose?

Question

Induction vs C-Section

Answer

NEITHER! Unless there is a medical reason to. Csections should never be done unless really really necessary. That is a major abdominal surgery and takes a lot longer to recover from. 
Inductions also should only be for medical reason. They are harder on your body and baby. Natural labor and spontaneous is much easier on your body and baby.

Answer

Unless theres a medical necessity, there is no reason to casually opt for a csection.

Answer

Natural! Inductions should only be used during a medical emergency and a C-section should be avoided if vaginal birth is safe enough to do so.

Answer

Inductions too early can lead to csections. This is my first pregnancy and I’m going to try as hard as possible to go naturally and avoid induction

Answer

I’d choose a C-section every time

Answer

I see you’ve said this is medical reasons, I’d choose induction myself. C section are a lot longer recovery. If a vaginal birth is at all possible, I’d go that route!

Answer

I’d never automatically choose a c section.

Answer

I chose induction and ended up with a c-section. I wish id waited and gone naturally (doctors said baby was big but she actually wasnt). I recovered really well from c-section, out and about pushingthe pram after four days but the induction was so unnecessary and caused a lot of stress that i wish id waited but i was msde to feel like waiting wasnt a choice

Answer

I had an induction but ultimately had an emergency c section. It would have been much better if I gave birth vaginally! Though c sections are done routinely, they are still considered a major surgery. The recovery is rough. I can see it being less traumatic though if it were a scheduled c section instead of an emergency c section. Either way momma, you will be meeting your baby soon! I wish you all the best!
