What is worse?

What is worse? Having a c- section or giving natural birth to a baby??

:-?

I think as long as the baby is delivered safely and both you and the baby are healthy it shouldn't really matter.

Uhhhhhhm, why does it matter? I think I'd just want my child here safely, no matter what.

I have done neither, but I would like to give birth naturally. I ended up with an epi last time after being induced by pitocin.

For me, here is my order of preference:
Med-free > Vaginal with epi >>>> C-section

C-sections are a blessing to have available when needed, but they are very major surgery. So I don't even get your debate or question.

Both results will hopefully give you a healthy baby so they're both wonderful. Not sure why it matters......

piperleigh · October 2013

Neither... You get your baby right?

If you mean natural as in no pain meds I don't have experience.

But I have had a vaginal birth with epidural and a c section. Vaginal birth I found more painful but I preferred it over c section. The healing period is much shorter and doesn't leave a lovely scar behind

... Hmm...

Obviously, nobody WANTS to have a c-section, its major surgery where your abdomen and uterus are cut open. If its medically necessary, then it is what it is. I imagine the recovery takes longer and is more painful than a vaginal birth. Then again, depending on any tearing you have during a vaginal delivery, it can wreak havoc on your body as well.

Its called Labor for a reason: its isn't easy and its hard work. Both get you a healthy baby delivered safely.

Another drive-by?

The main goal is a healthy mom and baby. A natural birth has it's advantages but if a c-section is deemed medically necessary than obviously that is the better choice.

Kfran84 · October 2013

Maybe I'm an optimist, but wouldn't it be better phrased as "which is better?"

"Which is worse" implies that both options are bad.

Both options are good as long as they get you and baby through safely. That said a c section is major surgery and I'm hoping to avoid that and deliver vaginally.

Also, who are you?

I heard that c-section babies look like goats. On the other hand, vaginal birth babies resemble puffins. So, I think it really depends on whether you want a goat-baby or a puffin-baby.

I'm team puffin.

Don't discount the goat-baby so quickly.

The goat baby just made me tear up.

<------Hormonal much?

By what definition? "Worse" is subjective. C-sections carry far more inherent risks than natural childbirth for both mom and baby.
Regardless I don't know why you're even asking.

I want to hug all the baby goats! The cuteness... It hurts.

Is there an option that would give me an otter baby? The otter baby gif yesterday was too cute to pass up and I'm willing to go any method that would result in one. Which specially trained iguana did I need for it again?

MY OPINION IS NOT TO BE USED FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT A RESPONSE TO THE THREAD.

The cat delivering my baby will be using teleportation to get my baby to me. It's all the rage here in WV.
