C.section is a lot more painful but natural birth is sure painful too but it hurts most right there n then won’t take long to heal n back to ur normal self but c.section it takes 2-4weeks 4 u 2 heal, don’t let them give u the section if u can have tha baby okay with natural birth doctors like to do C.sections because they get a lot of money out of it and its also to teach future doctors they be watching when its been perform. so honey so no to C.section if u can push good enough for ur little Angle 2 come out!!! here is some tips to have natural birth and spend less hours in labor, 1.

Good Luck Sweetie:}

I would go with a vaginal delivery. You get a spinal block with a c-section so you don’t feel any pain, but it’s surgery so you get that incision and that can take time to heal and probably doesn’t feel that great (I’ve never had one, but I can imagine).

With a vaginal delivery, it hurts but once the baby is out it’s over. If your pain threshold is really low (like mine) you can always get an epidural or some sort of pain medication. I had an epidural with my first baby and it was great; after it was put in I felt no pain and when the baby was coming out felt pressure but didn’t hurt. Afterwards, I felt so good I could walk around and I felt ready to go home.

Word of warning, some people have bad epidural experiences where they headaches and spinal problems. If I wasn’t such a wimp, I’d totally want to go all natural (no drugs). There are lots of classes and methods you could study that focus on non-medicated birthing and teach you about pain management. Bradley method, hypnobirthing, water births… just a few things of many things you can investigate.

I had natural childbirth with both of my children. I think that caesarean is less painful as well. The best thing for you to do is get an epidural. You should feel no pain at all.

During the birth a vaginal birth would be more painful, but as for healing time a cesarean take a long time to heal because it is major surgery. You can always have an epidural if you are that scared! And also keep in mind that it is painful, but always the second the baby is out the mother are always smiling so obviously it can’t be that bad! If it was horrible then people would never have more than one child but that’s not the case. Just relax and keep positive thoughts about birth! You are going to have to do it anyways so why worry?

That’s like comparing apples and oranges.

Giving birth vaginally obviously hurts. Each delivery, even with the same woman, will be different. Some will be more intense than another. It is scary the first time, but if you prep yourself it’s not so bad, and if you are willing to take medication for pain, it’s even better, lol.

C-section is numb, so you don’t feel anything. It’s surgery. But the recovery can generally be harder and longer after the birth compared to vaginal.

Doctors will recommend a vaginal birth over surgery every time if given a choice. The only time surgery is an option is an as needed basis. Nature intended a women’s body to push a baby out, not to be cut open, so a doctor will try for a vaginal birth whenever possible.

Natural hurts dont get me wrong, think of something 5 + lbs coming out, BUT as soon as the baby is out the pain is over. I was able to walk right after.

My best friend and I were a month apart and she had a C-section. For months after she was still feeling pain. The recovery is different for everyone, but it takes longer to heal from a C-section.

I’m 25 with 3 kids n the last 2 were completely natural matter of fact my youngest which is 5 months was delivered in the parking lot of the hospital by EMT the birth naturally is painful but how painful depends on how much pain you can tolerate when its all done you will realize you were scared for nothing because its more scary then painful. i wouldn’t worry about c section its not something you can just ask for it has to be a necessary thing to do. if the pain gets to much for you to handle you can get an epidural.

NATURAL is more painful, Cesarean they give you a local and pop the kid out. Fast and quick, but one hell of a scare.

My experience with a c-section was good. I went in to have the baby vaginally, but couldn’t because I don’t have wide enough hips. I was up and carrying her a couple of hours after I gave birth. I did not take any pain medication after she was born because I didn’t want it in my breastmilk. It hurt, but I did have surgery. I think it hurt me more when my milk came in and I started breastfeeding!
