Giving birth advice

[Beautifulbreebree]

What is better natural birth or c-section. I am 10 weeks pregnant and have been worried the whole pregnancy about giving birth. I'm a first time mum. I'm worried about having natural birth. I really want a c-section. I just want to know what it is like to have a c-section. An what is easier out of natural birth or c-section.

If you can have a vaginal birth you're so lucky I can have nothing but C sections because my pelvic area is too small. I'll be having my second one in August I'm looking forward to having my baby girl but I'm not looking forward to having another C section, The healing process isn't fun at all but good luck(:

Giving g birth is not that bad (at least it wasn't  for me) I was up and walking around almost immediately  after. People tend to forget that  C-section  are no little thing, they are a major  surgery  that requires  a lot of rest and down time to recover  from. And I'm hoping no doctor in their right mind would do one unless absolutely  medically  necessary

Defenetly natural birth is the best way to go I had my first baby girl naturally and loved everything about it but obviously if your baby is at risk opting for a c section is understanding.

Really I think U should always try for a natural vag birth. But it doesn't always happen that way. My 1st born I labored for 17hrs, baby/my vitals dropped & ended up w a csection. My 2nd was a planned C. The emergency Csection was much harder then the planned C. Really in both natural & csection births there are risks. Neither is better but U just have to do what is BEST for baby & U-so the 2 of U go home healthy. Now a C is surgery, it's hard on Ur body. Ur stomach is cut open, U really don't realize how much U need Ur stomach to do things. If U do end up w a csection the MOST important thing to make recovery easier/faster is get up & walk ASAP!!! But U have a long way to go. See what happens w Ur pregnancy. I'm preparing for C#3, & I'm so nervous.

I had a c section with my daughter and had no problems and i wasn't on any pain meds cause i dont believe in meds i was still able to bond with my baby breastfeeding was good i even had time to clean the house and give her baths i believe pain is a mind thing if u dnt think so much about it then u wouldn't feel u cant do anything or breastfeed or bond with ur baby and i healed around the same time as my friend we gave birth together I was moving around dancing just dance with my bros takin walks within the 6 weeks but everybody is different this time around i want vaginal only cuz im afraid for them to cut the same spot twice and something goes wrong

Some people have no choice but to get a csection its all what the doctor says just because your interested in natural if the doctor says different then a csection it will be

I'm a ftm I had my baby 5 weeks ago and had a vaginal birth. Feel free to message me if you want all the gory details no one ever tells you about a natural birth. I wish someone told me. But I think it's definitely better then a c section. It's definitely tough either way and trust me even tho I wanted a vaginal delivery I was rethinking that while I was actually in labor lol. But a c section is major surgery you should try to avoid that at all costs. Where as the other way, your body is made for.

I am on baby number two, and I was the same way with my first I wanted a c section but honestly I'm glad I didn't... cause some woman in my family that had c sections said at the beginning they didn't feel as connected with their baby or some took longer to recover from birth after c sections.

Yeah I'm thinking I will give natural birth a go. Thanks for the advice girls

Im a mom of 3. Ive done natural and no c sections. My best friend had 2 csections. I was very nervous too because i feared the pain with my first. Im a big chicken. I dont even like getting blood drawn. It really isnt all that bad. Yes the contractions hurt but pushing is a relief. If u cant handle the pain, get an epidural. Ive seen the recovery of my friend from csection twice, and i would nvr opt for one personally. The healing process takes a lot longer, and its harder to get those tummy muscles back in shape. I was up the same day walking around, vs my friend whimpering everytime she got up out of bed for 2 weeks straight. I guess every woman handles the c section differently, but i wouldnt want to be cut open.

I'm a ftm as well but always hear you always want to avoid a c-section. But everyone's experience is different so I really don't know!
