For moms who have had both....which do you prefer...vaginal delivery or c-section? Which one hurts less?
I prefer vaginally then c section but I had the baby blues with the c section.
I have had both. I do prefer the vaginal birth over a csection. I didn't like not being able to move or hold my baby that came with the csection. Pain wasn't an issue for me as I have an incredibly high tolerance to pain. I'm planning on having a vbac with this baby. I'm currently 25 weeks.
Recovery for vaginal is better than c-section. I've only experienced vaginal, but I knew I wanted to avoid a c-section. I had an all natural birth. I rememeber the contractions being terrible. But when it came to actually pushing, you're so focused on the contraction and pushing you don't really realize what's happening down there. And once they put your baby on your chest and you see them for the first time, you forget all the pain.
