Even after 14 hours of labor and being given meds to make it happen. <br />That one wasn't too bad but it did take a while to recover from.<br />I had been dead set on having natural childbirth and had been doing hypnobirthing at nights to prepare and was pretty sad that I didn't get the opportunity.<br />My second I though about trying to do a VBAC but my doctor said he wouldn't do it. My second one was horrible from start to finish and took even longer to recover from.<br />I hate them. <br />At least they are fast and planned though. That part is good.<br />Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12015144905964485090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148002613892357830.post-33382540678836097502013-08-10T19:26:28.496-04:002013-08-10T19:26:28.496-04:00Oh no doubt.

My first 2 were natural and horrible deliveries #2 was almost emergency c-section. The last two were c-sections and much better over all! Recovery after the second c-section was easier than the first. Took it easy the first 2 weeks after and that made a HUGE difference!<br /><br />Good luck! It will be great and wonderful. And anything is better than being 9 months pregnant in the heat we are currently having!!!Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778206686160220970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5148002613892357830.post-23511627512487762272013-08-10T12:10:05.205-04:002013-08-10T12:10:05.205-04:00Vaginal is better.

I've never had a natural delivery so I really don't have an experience to compare to it but I've heard too many things that happen POST natural birth that makes me choose a c-section ANY DAY!! As far as recovery goes...the sooner you get your body moving and back to normal, the faster you heal (just like any other surgery).

Had a vbac with my second and am currently 41 weeks - planning another vbac.<br /><br />I know several women who loved having csections because they could plan around it so well. I personally would NEVER want another csection because the recovery is just a lot harder and there are more risks involved because it's a major surgery. I'm not sure why you're having a csection...I know sometimes they are necessary and I'm thankful it's an option for those. I just wish they weren't done so frequently when it's not necessary. <br /><br />Best wishes to you!! Regardless you will be able to hold your sweet baby very soon!
