Normal or c section

Which one is best needs kind of a complicated answer. Natural delivery is just that - natural and should be the norm. The mother (and father) are more intimately involved with the entire birth process. Healing after delivery is also quicker. C-sections done as an emergency measure are a great 'Plan B' when natural birth is not going to happen. Better a live baby than ... Scheduled C-sections also allow parents to plan better for the birth since they are not waiting for the big surprise moment. C-sections are great for having babies with beautifully shaped heads. Downside to C-sections is certainly that the road back to health takes longer and is more difficult. Do you agree? What do you think of my comparison?

I wouldn't know because I've had 2 c-sections. However, I know that with both of mine, I had a horrible time recovering. I would think that a normal delivery would be easier to bounce back from.

Normal for me. Although the pain is more but I think thats the way you can realy feel how to be a mother.Now I have two childrens and both with normal delivery.

Natural delivery was a horrible experience for me... and one I wouldn't change for the world. I hope I get to have all my children without a c-section. As it was, they had to use vacuum suction to get the little stinker out, and even that killed me because I WANTED TO DO IT! Oh well. Oh, and her head is a gorgeous shape, even with vacuum extraction. Symmetrical head, really.

c section

I had 2 c-sections. With the first one I was stuck pushing for 4 hours. Finally they had to do an emergency one on me. With the second baby, I didn't want to take any chances. My mother also, had 2 c-sections. Someone about having a twisted uterus?

i don't know. i had a normal birth and the c-section girls were up and doing laps around the hospital while i was so sore and barely able to get off the bed on my own. my cousin has a c-section and a few hours later she was sitting up and feeding the baby when i came to visit her and didnt seem to be in any pain.

I had my daughter by emergency C-section and I had problems recovering but not due to the c-section. I had a back up in my intestines because I had eatten not too long before I ended up in the ER. I had to be put completely out and your digestive system shuts down but mine still had food to digest. It wasn't fun but again had nothing to due with the c-section really.

normal

I think a normal delivery is safer because a c-section runs the same risks as any other surgical procedure. If anesthesia is used, there is a chance the patient could die, there could be post-op infections, etc.

I'm going to request a c-section as I am terrified of normal birth plus would feel resentful if natural birth affected my sexlife.

Well i've had both. So i'd say C/S. BUT thats me. Recovrey time isn't bad or wasn't to bad bad for me only the first few days but so can natural delivery.

try normal

i delivered bith of mine naturally. im grateful for that.

Definently normal delivery. It takes a lot longer to recover from a c section, it's a lot more difficult to get over. When you do normal delivery you are uncomfortable during the labor, but after that you can get up and walk around and stuff, you can't do that with a c section.

normal for me.

generally everyone says tha tnormal is best but i feel that c-section is best

i was a c-section baby so was my brother im glad i am, i like the shape of my head ,apparently most ceserians have nice symetrical shaped heads.sometimes i look at other people with thier football shaped heads and think ouch that was a difficult birth for him.
