Did you have natural child birth or did you have to have a c-section?

I had to have 2 c-sections. I tried to have my second child natural, but my water broke and that is as far as my labor got.

My baby now at 13 months
I had a c-section ohh it was hard too they went it and he came out fine and then after that I had to stay in the hospital a couple extras days because I lost way to much blood and then I had no iron in me so I had to get some iron shots and 2 blood transplants. I would do it all over again though if I had to

I have two kids, and both of them were natural. The first one came to fast that I could not even get pain medication for her. The second one I had just IV pain meds and made it through in good shape.

I had natural, though with an epidural and the help of a vacuum extractor. She did not want to come down, and it was beginning to affect her heart of 2 1/2 hours of pushing. If the vacuum didn't get her out in a couple tries, they were going to have to do a c-section. But the little stinker finally gave up and came out! I would consider a c-section for future pregnancies, just because she was 8 lbs, 13 oz and I fear that if they get bigger as we go along, I am not going to be able to get them out! But I'll just have to talk to the doc about that when the time comes.

Two c-sections. First was because my son was laying sideways and was literally stuck in my ribs...second time was only because it was so soon after my first c-section (thanks to birth control, lol)..i would have loved to have had the chance to try an ALL natural child birth, but no more kids for me!

I had one of each, and I'd choose natural birth hands down. It hurt more at the time, but I recovered in short order. After my c-section, I caught everything that went around for 2 years, probably because my body had been depleted and weakened by the surgery and illnesses I suffered immediately afterward.
