All three of ours were c-section. The first boy was an emergency breach. The second a transverse where the doc couldn't get him to straighten out. Our third had to be c-section because of the vertical cut through the uterus on the second child. The doc didn't want to rick hemmoraging.

After the first one I didn't get much out of watching it. I remember them all well, however.

I'm scared to deah to give birth, I think when the time comes I'll just ask for a c-section without even trying to squeez it out the regular way :p

I had an emergency c section with my daughter. I actually found the recovery process physically a little easier than the vaginal delivery. Of course, I was drugged a lot for several days after, so that may have something to do with it.

The recuperation for a c-section is long & painful. I would always opt for the traditional method. At least that pain is over after a few hours.

All mine were C-sections. Small hips the first time and they repeat after so as not to tear out the scar tissue.

I thought it was relatively easy to recover from but then I don't have anything to compare it to. So there is that. LOL
