Did you have a C-section or Normal Birth?

[BurtonBaby]

I had Erica via a planned section. Dr. said she would be too big for me to deliver, but she ended up being 8lb 10oz. A big girl, but I think I could have managed.

When we have another one, I'm hoping and praying for a VBAC. The section wasn't bad, but I feel like I missed out on experiencing normal childbirth.
