Natural or c section?

[LeboD]

Morning ladies,  im really confused pf whether I should do a c-section or natural birth.  What are pro and cons and which one is more painful. Tx :-)

I don't think you have a choice.  A c-Section is major surgery and should only be done if medically necessary.  But if you happen to live in a place where they do "optional" c sections,  then I would definitely choose natural, no doubt about it.

I can't speak about c sections but I can speak about natural vaginal and vaginal with epi... With my first 2 I had vag w/epi and I didn't care for it to much especially after my 2nd child and that's because I feel like the epi was placed in wrong and ever since then my legs go numb sometimes and that was almost 6 years ago... Now vaginal natural is awesome... I did this with my 3rd child... Some people wouldn't agree... But to me that was the best thing I've ever done and I will be doing it again with this child... I loved the way I felt afterwards, was able to get up and move around better and my body seemed to have healed faster, to me... The first thing my mom and grandma said to me after the natural was "I bet you won't be doing that again"... My response was yes I will... I'm just not made for man made medications anyways... I have the weirdest affects while taking them so I do a lot of natural cures for me and my children...
