My friend ripped hole to hole and had 2 csections after. She would prefer natural birth if she would have had a choice

With my first I had a 4th degree tear.( where its ripped from one hole to the other) nothing hurts worst then that!!! C section this time.. I'm sure it will hurt a lot less afterwards.

I want to experience natural birth for sure! I know my story sounds horrible but I want to point out if I had to go through that with every baby, it would not stop me from having lots of babies! It was worth it no matter what to have my baby! :) Ive always wanted 4 and after going through that with my first, hasn't changed my mind yet!

I couldn't breath when they did mine b/c they numbed me too far up. So they had to put me completely under. I didn't meet my daughter til she was 2-3 hrs old. I had a spinal headache for a week cuz they put the needle in too far. Getting in and out of bed was the worst. I would literally cry b/c it was so much pain. Then one morning getting out of bed I felt it rip open (like an inch) hurt like hell! But I instantly felt a little better. It was infected. Anyway once it healed it was fine. Hoping to have a vbac this time. Scared either way b/c it will be a new experience! Not scared... Nervous on what to expect. My csection was horrible but they said that what happened to me doesn't happen often. Think they said 2%.

I had both cs & vaginal birth in my opinion try to avoid cs as much as u can it's so much painful & longer recovery I'm telling u they staples the incision & cover it with giant bandage when they take it off omg it was the worst paint ever....with cs they don't usually give it to u unless is necessary...this is my 3rd one & I'm gonna have repeat cs I wish I could do with vaginal birth but In case I have no choice...I hope this helps good luck & congrats

Good luck Hansen! A friend of mine recently scheduled a c section and had one. She is an pediatric anesthesiologist and was afraid of going through labor after seeing so many women in pain.   She regretted it after saying she wish she went for vaginal delivery. She couldn't feel her body or move for a few hours after delivery and that's what scared her the most.

Look up The Business of Being Born on youtube or netflix if you have it. Wonderful video and incredibly informative.

Iv had 3 csections and all were hard but my last one was the hardes, I had gotten an infection and had to be on antibiotics for it. Vaginal birth is so much safer than having a csection because there are lots of risks involved with it and with a natural birth its safer the baby gets all the liquid out of the baby because they are coming out of a tight space. I'm trying for a vba3c, I'm due April 19
