I had a c section with my 3rd and prayed I wouldn't have any complications with my 4th. Luckily I got to deliver vaginally with 4th. My c section Birth.. the pain was crazy and I was on different types of meds for the pain that made me hallucinate and fall asleep mid sentence it wasn't fun. Especially if you have limited help like I did. And stairs. I had to walk up stairs. It was a terrible experience for me.
I MUCH rather go through vaginal birth. Csections take a lot longer to recover, and i have to wait longer to walk, and it's just overall scary. I wouldn't suggest doing it voluntarily. Leave is for an emergency. I didn't have one personally. But i watch my mom go through the pain of 2 of out 6 of us kids. And watched my aunt go through 2 of them out of her 5
