A Cesarean section does no damage to the vagina.

C-Section does no damage.

well natural birth of course. c-sections are when the baby is surgicaly removed from your lower abdomain.

A C-section does no damage to the vagina. It makes a big scar on your belly but has nothing to do with your vagina. Giving birth stretches it and tears it in some cases. It will be stitched and heal but you will be a little looser after that.

Of course a natural birth, but not as much as you think : )

no damage can be done to your vagina if you have a c-section.

If this seems to be an issue then maybe being a mother is just not for you. Being a mother is extremely rewarding. Once the baby is born, you look down to that sweet little face – the pain and physical changes (to yourself) just seem to disappear. At that point, the most important thing, to you, is the child – not yourself.

POTENTIALLY a vaginal birth (c/s is through your belly) could do more “damage” but it doesn’t have to be that way if you are educated about birth, free to move around and choose your own pushing position and have a good caregiver. I tore some with my first but birthed #2 and #3 over an intact perineum with no damage at all.

are you serious? The c section cuts through your stomach and goes nowhere near your vagina, so natural childbirth is harmful. I had an episotomy and I tore with my son and daughter

A cesarean would not do anything to the vagina. It can however, cause a host of other permanent problems for both the mother and child In almost cases any injury to the vagina during vaginal childbirth is b/c of overzealous doctors using forceps, and doing episotomies–which are totally unnecessary. A vagina is made to pass a baby through it with out any permanent damage

It depends primarily on the size of the baby and how the baby comes out through the vagina (breach, normally, etc.). I’m not trying to scare you, but a big pound baby (12 lbs. or greater–that happened to my grandmother because this is what my mother weighed when she was born, honest to God…I’ve seen the birth certificate) will come nearer tearing you more than a normal weight one. As for C-section, that really has no change factor because you run the same risk mentioned above.

natural child birth

A C-section has nothing to do with the vagina. That incision is below the belly button, but above the pubic area.
Vaginal birth doesn’t damage the vagina. It may take some time for it to “feel” back to normal, but it doesn’t change shape or size.

c-section has no effect on your vagina.

A C-section has nothing to do with your vagina…so obviously a natural birth.

Natural child birth. A C-Section does no damage to the vagina.

A c-section should do no damage to the vagina unless it is performed very late in labor because the baby is stuck. Even natural childbirth should not damage the vagina. There will likely be a tear in the perineum, but that heals. The vagina is very elastic and should go back to its normal size a few weeks after delivery.
Do you mean the uterus? If so, a c-section does more damage. It means cutting through the wall of the uterus. This is major surgery. It’s done every day and doctors have become very good at it, but it is still major surgery.
