What’s better a C-section or a regular delivery???

Hi, I had my first child by C-Section at 19 and now at 27 my scar is hardly noticable, c-sections today don’t leave you with a huge scar.

C-sections are normaly only done for medical reasons so the advantages are basically that you would be putting the health of you and your baby at risk otherwise if you had any of these. Exam,ples would be breech birth, a very large baby, or fetal distress where the baby isn’t getting enough oxygen in labour.

I have also had three vaginal births and in my opinion these were much easier, epecially in terms of recovery afterwards. For me having a C-Section made it hard to care for my son, and made breast feeding impossible, I found the experience quite traumatic.

That’s not to say that this is the case for everyone, I have a friend who found recovery easier and thought c-section was a more pleasant experience by far, but the she had medical problems that made labour particularly difficult for her.

If you choose to have a vaginal birth my advice would be to inform yourself about labour as much as possible, to keep mobile as long as possible in labour, and try not to be strapped to the hospital bed!, also try to avoid induction, it hurts more!

google active birth, epidural, and generaly get informed as much as you can, and look forward to meeting your baby 🙂

Hey, I had three vaginal deliveries and I know that I would prefer those to c-section. Not only does c-section limit the number of children you can have – most doctors will only do 3 c-sects, and each pregnancy after your uterus has a chance of rupture where the scar is – but the recovery time is much longer and more stressful on your body. A c-section requires surgery where as vaginal delivery is just delivery. Our bodies were made to deliver vaginally, not through surgery.

Don’t get me wrong, c-sections are great when they are needed in cases of emergency but they are very over-used and should be a last resort, not an option.

I had my first vaginal with epidural and pethodine and felt nothing which in a way was good but i never experienced it really coz i couldnt walk afterwards to see her.

My second arrived at home and i just cant describe what that was like, it hurt a little bit, nowhere near as much as i thought. But in my own environment it was amazing. hubby nearly delivered.

I would never go c-section unless it was for baby and mines safety.

if u have a low pain tolerance try to not have a c-section, because that’s a major surgery and with ne surgery come prolonged pain….and a vaginal delivery is not that bad…also if u have one c-section u usually have to have more for the ore kids u have…

well i have never had a baby buttt.. i would say no go got the c section..

when i watch baby story on TLC…a lady will have a c section and when they take the baby out…the father usually holds the baby to the mothers face…and the mother cant even hold it!!
i dont know if its like that with all c sections.

its something to consider though…i know if i had achild i would want to be the FIRST person to hold my baby.

according to doctors, in the past few years deaths from child birth have been going up instead of down, because so many c-sections are being done that are not necessary and women die from blood loss and such. So avoid it at all costs unless absolutely necessary.. even if your doctor wants to give you one.. make sure its really really needed

Vaginal is always the best if there is no other complications. Thats the way a womens body is made to have babies. The healing time is nothing compared to a c-section. I had a vaginal delivery with help with the suction because my baby was face up instead of face down. I had a really great expierence :o)
