Which is better - Normal delivery or C-Section?

Cadelaria

I had a normal delivery with my first. The labor took 16 hours and I thought I couln't endure the extreme pain. But I love how fast and more convenient as the pot-delivery and healing go. A couple of my friends who had a C-Section said that if they were to give birth again, they'd still opt for a C-section coz it's painless and there are ways now for its fast healing.
From your experience or point of view, which do you think is better? And if you know other childbirth methods, please feel free to share. Thanks.

I'd opt for a normal delivery. I'm afraid of the anesthesia. Also, I still want to wear my bikini and low waist trousers post pregnancy so I don't want to have a scar.

With my previous 2 normal deliveries, I still prefer normal on the 3rd. (hoping for a girl!)

I want to have a Vaginal delivery (also known as the Normal delivery) but I might as well have a scheduled C-Section. I have a gestational diabetes and therefore a normal delivery isn't a safer option for me and my baby.

@Edda!
Will be having a C-Section next year so I guess this one's my option next to the 2-piece bikinis.




Indeed, tankinis are a C-S scar concealer... Ayt?

Oh, I'll be having a scheduled C-section due to my GDM.

I prefer the natural method but if there's an option for a epidural and to make the pain less, then I'd grab it!

Halia

We're on the same boat....

You bet Halia!! Now I don't have to worry about a C-Section as I'm a good candidate for one due to my Asthma. My cardiologist says I may be having it instead of a normal, vaginal delivery.

I wanted to have a normal delivery!

You know tankinis are very much ideal to me, not because of a scar - I'm still TTC you know- but to cover up my lower tummy cellulites! Yeck!
