iknow in the best case scenario vaginal birth is "better" for baby and a better recovery but

- there should not be any quotes around better.  Vaginal deliver IS better for both baby and for recovery.

We all know the obvious benefits of vaginal delivery.  The c-section should only be used for true emergencies.[/quote]

This is ridiculous. There’s one small study showing some possible benefits to vaginally delivered babies. As for recovery— planned c sections actually have the lowest risk of complications in the short term as well as the long term. Levator avulsion — 1 in 5 to 1 in 3 vaginal deliveries will suffer one, zero percent of c sections. Your pelvic floor muscle rips off of your pubic bone. It can’t be reattached. Perineal tears — nearly 9/10 FTMs will tear and the majority will have a second degree tear or worse. 1 in 8 will have a tear through her anal sphincter. OBs are NOT trained to repair these injuries well, and they are much more complex repairs because they are traumatic repairs. OB’s job is to stop the bleeding, not to actually put your muscles back together.

Prolapse — almost a given with a vaginal delivery; c section minimizes your risk. Urinary incontinence - higher risk with a c section. C sections do carry a higher rate of pain with sex, but a good PFPT can help.

Whoops, sorry. UI — higher risk with vaginal delivery. Fecal incontinence is actually about the same risk vaginal or c section.
