[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i had both - vaginal (very long labor and they almost had to do an emergency c) and c-section for my second (for medical reasons). I prefer the latter, hands down. Recovery was completely fine -- as long as you overlap your pain meds and NEVER skip a dose (my god, that is awful). If men were able to have babies, it would be C sections every time. The delivery itself was a walk in the park. [/quote]

I had both, and I had the opposite experience. Recovery after the vaginal delivery was no problem at all, really none, no pain medication, nothing. Recovery after the C-section was -- well, not as bad as I expected, but that's the best I can say about it.[/quote]

And that is the key to this discussion, isn't it?  People have different experiences.  I had 2 easy c-sections.  For my first, I gave birth the day before a friend had a vaginal birth.  I was up and around days before she was, and she still complains about incontinence six years later.  My SIL was so traumatized from her vaginal birth that she had no more children.  Obviously, others have very easy vaginal birthday and are up making dinner the next day.  You can't generalize either way.[/quote]
