[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's no problem y c-sections, it's just that a bunch of sanctimonious holier-than-thou women want to find a way to feel like they are better than someone else, so they say pushed a baby out of their vagina and that makes them a better mom.

I had two c-sections b/c my babies were breech. I had two VERY easy recoveries. I didn't tear and don't pee when I laugh or sneeze, I consider this a HUGE WIN over everyone I know that gave birth vaginally, LOL! Really the only downside is the scar, but it's covered even with the smallest bikini.[/quote]

Absolutely agree, as someone who delivered vaginally with a second degree tear. It’s all bad news down there. I was so afraid of being cut open. Watch a video (a real video) of repair of a vaginal tear. It makes c-sections look positively civilized, and in real life, the doctors don’t take anywhere near the time and care they do in the videos.  Would definitely go back in time and request an elective c if I could. [/quote]

So much r/BadWomensAnatomy on this thread.

Pelvic floor issues are a result of pregnancy. Not necessarily correlated to mode of delivery.

I've had 3 unmedicated vaginal births and I don't have any residual effects. I never pee unless I'm trying to and I work out with intensity every day. I'm a size 2 and I don't even have so much as a stretch mark.

I attribute this to a mix of genetics, overall health upon becoming pregnant and maintaining optimum health during pregnancy, as well as a thorough understanding of evidence based maternal healthcare. [/quote]

How old are you and are you still menstruating?

I'm older and in my friend group, it is overwhelmingly the ones who had vaginal births who have severe prolapse issues. They didn't start until after menopause, however.[/quote]

I'm a NP to this topic and these are two separate issues. Vaginal birth is higher risk for prolapse because it weakens the pelvic muscles. However, the highest risk is the pregnancy itself and the number of children. So, having two easy vaginal deliveries, like I did, is not a huge risk. Having lots of vaginal deliveries of large babies while also being obese is very high risk. Prolapse after menopause happens to women that never gave birth too. It's the lack of estrogen that thins the vagina and the tissues that causes the prolapse. So one weakens the muscle (hence why exercises work) and the other one thins the tissues. So, early menopause and several 9+ lbs. babies, even delivered via C-section while also being overweight is risk risk. Late menopause, 1 to 2 easy vaginal deliveries with normal weight babies and staying in shape is lower risk.  [/quote]
