After was nice it healed very quickly, only one stitch. I was able to move around immediately too. It’s very intense and painful but being able to feel everything and not be numb helped me with pushing. I pushed twice and he was out. Walking around was helpful for me too. I felt him completely drop and that’s when I knew it was time.

You heal quick and can get back to most regular activity the same day! It may be easier to breastfeed and bond after natural birth.

The cons being: very painful, tiring and I didn't fully enjoy my birth. It went perfect and it was great don't get me wrong but I was soooo burnt from labor that pushing was hard and after my baby came out I was really out of it. I feel like mom's who get epidural enjoy all the stages because they aren't focused on the pain.

I agree with @emily526,

I feel amazing!

It’s all about breathing through those contractions.

I also went home at 24 hours.

I was able to shower after an hour of giving birth.

My husband and I bathed the baby.

It was so special!!

@emily526 thank you 🤗

Pros: I felt awesome after giving birth, I got to go home in less than 24 hours because I had no stitches or anything for them to monitor, although there were some obvious discomforts afterwards they went away quickly and within days I was feeling completely normal, I feel very proud of what my body was able to accomplish.

Cons: Honestly none, the benefit of the quick recovery I had far outweighs any pain I went through during labor in my opinion.
