Definitely easier. Just think like this: an emergency C, you’re already contracting and in labor. You’ve most likely already had an epidural. Your body is stressed and tired.
With a scheduled C, your body isn’t in labor. No contractions to make the cutting harder. Your body is calm, and much more relaxed. The baby isn’t stressed. They also don’t have to pump you full of meds. You’ll only be getting what you need for the surgery instead of what you needed for vaginal birth AND THEN also a C Section.
