Anyone more scared of a c section than a natural birth/birth withepidural??? I Was talking to my husband today about how the more I think about having a baby the more afraid I get. This is such a new experience for me. We went to 'mommy class' and talked about the reality of it, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. So what's your opinion ladies, vaginal birth or c section?

I had an emergency c-section. It wasn't as bad as I thought it woud be. Recovery for me wasn't bad at all, I had my daughter at 630pm, rested till 330am when they brought my little one to me. I was up and doing everything the next day had no problems.
Knowing how the c-section goes now I think I'd me more terrified to have a natural birth only cause I didn't have one the first time.

I was in labor for 14 hours and suddenly told that an emergency c section was necessary to save my baby. I cried uncontrollably because I was so scared, thank god I had my fiance by my side. He held my hand the entire time. The surgery wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, recovery was awful. But I would've done anything to save my baby

I never planned for a c-section but I had one. I was terrified when I got the news that my daughters life was in danger because the cord was wrapped around her neck and would squeeze with every contraction. All I could think about was getting her out alive. I was awake for the entire surgery, but I got through it just fine. The recovery is worse than the actual surgery...it pregnant with my second baby now and I'm just as scared about giving birth as I was 5 years ago! I can't help you overcome your fear of childbirth, but just know that it's something women are built for. When the time comes, you'll just be grateful to hold your baby in your arms no matter how they came out!

Scared of csec definitely! Had 2 natural births and loved them, I'd be so disappointed if I had to get a csec for some reason. Still happy to have baby safe, but yeah I'd go to great lengths to avoid a csec!

I am terrified of the thought of having to get a csection. To the point where I have made it known that if it needs to happen I better be knocked out for it because I wouldn't be able to mentally handle laying there being cut open..

Team Vag! I've had 3 vaginal births with an epidural! & it's so panful to go into real labor I loved being induced no worries no pain!!

I am way more scared of a c section. So much so that I found a doctor who would do a vaginal breech delivery for my first child who turned breech at 35 weeks and refused to turn back. C sections have many more risks than vaginal birth. Its major abdominal surgury and way more risky for mom and baby.

Vaginal birth with epidural all the way.. have had 2 like that and plan on having baby girl the same. I've already went over my birth plan with my doc. Just my opinion.
