I have 2 kids 1st one was Caesarian 2nd one was Natural. I prefer Natural birth. Caesarien takes around 1-2years to heal, the stitchs made my stomach feel so numb for at least 2years it was horrible, plus the pain was horrible. A natural birth you can get up and walk around straight after it. You heal much faster maybe 1-2weeks. However everyones different.

Wow! That's great... I also do hope to have a natural delivery when it comes, haha... I hate the mark that caesarian delivery will give.

I am a man.But as a father of two kids born by caesarean method,I would say,natural birth is good.The labor pain is for the moment but you can resume to normal works early and you can regain your shape easily than the other.And once you have your first baby in caesarean,then the second one is more likely to end that way.But it is done only when it is needed.Yet natural birth will be preferred by all,I think.Cheers!

We have to admit there are money oriented doctors doing like that.On the other side,even some elder people ask for a caesarean on a particular date and time according to astrology.They even ignore the possibilities of natural birth.Just they believe on auspicious day.What do you say for this?

I am glad to know that most people still prefer natural delivery. But nowadays, some doctors or hospitals pushed their patients to have a C to earn more. What do you think?

But if you have a choice, you will choose to have a normal delivery? what is the reason why the doctor decided to ceasarian you? do you have health problems?

I am not married yet... but given a chance to have a baby, I would prefer the natural delivery. I had an operation before for burst appendicitis and I looked like I had a Ceasarian operation. The doctor said I should be careful for a whole year not to be straining myself on work and not to lift heavy objects because the stitches might look heal outside but inside it is not that healed yet. That's not a C-section operation but during the first two years I could feel a bit of pain in the stitches when it gets very cold. If my ovary was not opened and it hurts, how much more if a baby was taken from inside of me?
Also, financially Ceasarian operation is more expensive than natural delivery. I keep in mind the expenses. But if I can't deliver in the natural way, then I just to accept being opened up. :(

That's right... It is really expensive to have a ceasarian operation... Its also sad that many hospitals/doctors push their patients to have a C even if they know that the patient can have a natural delivery. Hospitals do this to earn more money.

Wow! That is great! Yes, kids born the natural way are healthier than those that are not. Thanks for the response!
