vaginal birth& c-section

[sp5609]

I would like to hear what birthing route you mommies out there took or is planning to take? If you are not a first time mom please do share your experience and how everything went for you. Who did you have in your room and what did you pack for the hospital?

I had both, the recovery from the c section was bad! It took at least 4 weeks for me to even walk normal.  I didn't take the pain killers because I was nursing. The natural birth was awesome! I would have felt normal 3 days after but those stitches were a pain.

I had a emergency c section but my recovery was good. I stop hurting till i left the hospital. Dont get me wrong, you can't do heavy lifting  ( i still did it but not a lot of it ) but you got to keep moving after the surgery.

My advice is to go natural....because it will keep u healthy no stomach ache r nothing ...the pain is upto only delivry bt aftr dat u will b norml like before ....the c section had many prblms .....so b natural if it is a choice ....n yestrday i saw a vdeo on c section how they do the surgery that was very scary ...how many cuts they r making in our body ..so dat is da pain aftr having child ...so go natural with benefits ...gd luck

I'm bringing one set of pajamas and one set of clothes to go home and maybe some sweats to change into if I have a mishap the rest is toiletries and band for my hair. Baby going home outfit a packet of oneies, 1big blanket and socks hat and bid and mittens. That's it

If medically my body says the same it will be vaginal. I don't want them cutting me if they don't have too. I want to be able to move around without help and resume back to normal activities as quickly as possible.

I had my son vaginal. There are a lot of heath benefits for mom and baby doing it that way. I plan on doing it again. I don't think my physician would do a C section without a medical reason its considered major surgery.

I ended up having a c section. My recovery was great. I was up in no time. U didn't pack much for the hospital some cotes for me in Baby made sure I had my phone and charger. This time around I'm gonna try for a vbac

I had To get a emergency c section and its baddd the process of taking baby out was fast and painless but the recovery is no joke it's been two months and I still get pain in my abdomen I can't do heavy lifting I'm scare my cut will open n at the beginning I couldn't get out of bed it was so painful so if u can go natural do that n I packed way too much I would say just take 2-3 outfits for baby n an outfit for you toothbrush n comfy slippers that's all I really needed
