My first child was born by emergency c-section and my daughter born nearly 6 weeks ago was a successfull vaginal birth. After experiencing both i can safely say that the vaginal birth was a million times better. The agony after having a section was awful, i could barely walk, couldnt pick my baby up which was horrible because everytime he cryed in hospital i had to ring for the midwife to pick him up for me. The pain to cough and sneeze etc was just awful too !The car journey home from hospital i cryed the entire way home as i was so sore and uncomfortable. I cant imagine being in such pain and having a toddler etc to look after.
With the vaginal birth i was up and about the same day, i did have stitches and was slightly sore obviuosly but nothing compared to having a section. I was able to pick up my baby feed her etc and i was shopping in matalan 4 days later ! with the section i stayed home for weeks as it hurt too much!! plus you cant drive for 6 weeks after.
