I gave birth to my son 14 months ago, it was a very long and traumatic birth. When I fell pregnant again my doctor said I could have a c-section. Up until a week ago I would not have even considered a having a vb ever again. After doing lots of reading I am very confused over what to do. I have read lots of C-section experiences on bb and it seem c-section can be just as painful and traumatic as vb sometimes more so. I know I could never go though what I went though with ds. Has anyone here had both, how did the pain compare? Does anyone else have any input to help me decide? A wonderful bb member is lending me New Active birth to read. I just don't know what to do. Thank you for any replies.
