Vaginally is the way your body is designed to deliver a baby. I had a c-section with my first because he was breech. He spent the first 24 hours of his life away from me on oxygen, with IVs, because he had fluid in his lungs from not being pushed out the birth canal. He could have gotten pneumonia, a lot could have gone wrong but it didn't. I don't know why you would want to have a c-section if you didn't need it.

Vaginal if u can. From what I understand if u go for the c-sec the first time without need it becomes a big risk to try vaginal after that. So say ur next kid u wanna try some docs won't even let u and if they did its very risky!

giving birth vaginal is the best way i can suggest, vaginal birth recovery is very fast and easy . c-section leaves a scar and long recovery . natural birth is good.

Vaginal by far is the best. I was able to walk around straight after, recovery time was faster. Yes its painful but you can always have pain relief.
Would never want a c section or the scar. Its an amazing experiance giving birth naturally :-)

If you have no medical need for a c-section then a vaginal is the absolute best and safest way to deliver a baby.  Recovery is faster, bonding is faster and it reduces the risk of baby having respiratory problems.  Elective c-sections put women and their babies at higher risk for numerous problems.

well i suggest that if you can push that baby out, have a vaginal birth!
for one you wont end up with a huge scar, and for two when your healing for a c section your in a lot of pain and wont have time for the new baby!
also there are a lot of risk with c section too! like infections and your wound could come open and that is not good! my aunt had a lot of complication when she was healing from a c section! just be careful! i would definately go for a vaginal birth!!
