The first day may be.... (ive had three) but no. You heal alot quicker I think. Ive had woman who have had natural births that cant believe im up and walking around so much and doing things. Walking is key though. If you lay down or sit for too long your muscles get stiff and sore. Obviously take it easy, but I think your on your feet quicker.

My whole pregnancy was great and I had a csection because my cervix wouldn't dialate. I found out maybe two weeks before I was due.

And not to scare you, every woman is different as is each pregnancy....inducing works normally for most and I had no complications during pregnancy not high risk (if you are high risk....you know and your dr would say) I just never open up. My body is weird haha...never dialated for either of my three children and had a missed miscarriage where my body did not release the baby and needed surgery for that too.

If your pregnancy has been good and no complications a c section should not be needed. I had one with my first, but didnt plan on having one. I went to the hospital to be induced and was there for 22 hrs with no change past 2 cm. They sent me home. I went back 3 days later to be induced and my body again did not respond to treatments and it started to affect baby so my dr told me then after my second round of 22 hrs in labor that I needed a c section.

They didnt let me know with my first untill 10 days prior to my due date. My daughter was breech and I was so set on giving birth naturally. They never told me her head was under my ribs. It was scary to be told i was having one but now on my 3rd pregnancy its very reassuring to know the date I get to go in. Usually a week early unless there is complications before hand. But if you never had a prior csection they will wait to see if baby will turn towards the end! Unless you are high risk and then they may beable to tell sooner.

If theres no complications with pregnacy i would think theres no need for csection.
