Vaginal or C-Section birth?

Just doing a poll to see how everyone gave birth!

DS was breech, so I knew a c-section was coming. Everyone always asks moms which is worse, a vaginal delivery or a c-section. I have come to the conclusion that a c-section delivery (planned) is easier than a vaginal one, but the recovery is worse, and vice versa.

My planned c section was amazing and the recovery was significantly easier and faster than my vaginal delivery.

Vaginal, but a magical stork would have been nice. I'll opt for that next time.

My C section was unplanned and took me awhile to get over the disappointment of not being able to deliver the "normal" way after a 20hr labour. I feel a lot better about it now, DD and I are healthy and happy so that's all that matters.

You're not alone! I went into the hospital at 11am that Monday to be induced and was in labor until Wednesday at 6pm when finally they realized my body was not going to dilate enough to push this baby out, therefore I ended up with an emergency c section as well. I was quite upset about it also. But after 2 and a half days--1 of which I was on Pitocin ALL day, yeah, I came to terms with a c section. But at least our babies are healthy!!!

MW allowed me to select magic stork since our LO came out so quickly after a relatively easy labor. It only took two active pushes for LO to come out.

After 2 C Sections, I had a VBAC this time and the recovery was SO much easier. That isn't to say a vaginal birth was easy. There was still a recovery time that I didn't expect. Not to mention, I never had issues with my bladder until now. Still, if given the choice again, I would definitely choose a vaginal birth.

I had a unplanned csection with my first due to not dialating. And was able to vbac this time around, for me the recovery was much easier, don't plan on anymore kids but if I were to choose I'd probably take the stork because either option is not a walk in the park.
