I have to say ive had two c sections and one natural. Id prefer natural anyday. With me c sections were started from labour but gog complicated and turned into c sectons and the fact with vaginal is you can get up straight away yeh tired and sore a couple days but better than a few weeks
I had a c section and got skin to skin and my husband was with her every minute and away from me for about 10 mins. If it's your first your recovery for a c section and natural labour are roughly the same (according to obstetrician). Just try and relax and see what happens naturally - it will all happen so quick, you'll have your baby before you know it! Vaginal or c-section - the prize of a beautiful baby is the same!
Vaginal birth is really not that bad and recovery is so much better than a c section...its normal to feel a bit freaked out dont worry all be fine
I had an emergency C section and while I would have preferred a vaginal delivery for recovery I personally found the section ok. I had skin on skin with my daughter and she was never out of my sight in the operating room and my husband held her immediately after they weighed her and did apgar tests. All hospitals are very different.
I wanna say th c section is more scary and they numb u but u still feel them pushing on ur belly ro get baby out and with a c section u miss things like skin on skin contact and u holding the baby first and going into the nursery seeing what they do after like they give them a bath and foot prints and all hearing test and seeing test they do I missed all of that but my hubby didn't he got to go in and see it all and help give her her first bath while inwas in recovery i didnt like c section at all
