If you ever have children, which would be your preference?

I'm not really sure which option is better. Sure, a c-section may save your vagina from a lot of trauma, but it comes at the expense of your stomach. Seriously, they really cut deep down into your body - the staples they have to put in afterwards are grisly and the scarring is nasty.

But then, as I said, going the old fashioned route can mean horrible trauma for the most fragile and sensitive part of your body.

Both can leave you in terrible pain for months to come.

Life sucks. If the time ever comes to make that choice, it's gonna be tough.

I'm probably leaning more towards natural though. The idea of having my innards hacked apart like I've seen on TV sounds worse than anything.

If I have kids well... that's for my future wife to decide on . xD

Rather Not Say

pretty sure my mother's resentment of me started from that moment on considering she was so set on having a natural birth and then because she had had an emergency c-section with me, she wasn't allowed to have a natural birth with my brothers either.

My daughter was born naturally. She would have been a c-section if she had been just a bit heavier though.

Hi, I'm Emily.

I obviously will opt for a natural birth.  Natural birth is better for both the baby and the mother.  I do not believe that doctors around here wll do C-Sections electively because of the risks associated.

I'm leaning towards natural. If that doesn't work, then a C-section.

Natural.  
And FYI your insides are not hacked apart via c-section.  
And your vagina doesn't suffer "trauma".

Well the way they have woman's stomach all cut open on TV just looks brutal...

And idk, My mom had me naturally and they had to cut her down there. She said it was terribly painful and took several months to heal.

I had my son naturally.

Having a baby naturally doesn't leave you in pain for months. I was fine, upright, walking and using the bathroom just fine within an hour of birth.

Women who have cesareans are left in pain for months because it's major abdominal surgery that cuts through a lot of tissue and muscle. They cannot even get out of bed for hours if not a day or two and for weeks I've heard that even farting is horrendously painful.

Statistically cesareans are 3-4 times more dangerous than vaginal birth.

It's stupid to opt for them for no reason.

I was a planned cesarean because my older brother was a cesarean and back in the 80s (just like today, ironically) it was "Once a cesarean, always a cesarean."

She said it felt HORRID afterwards, where as with her other kids, she felt far better.

And maybe my mum was just unlucky then? idk. I hope that doesn't happen to me.
