I think until you have been through a traumatic painful vag birth you can't say its better than a c/section. The pain and issues that I had were far worse and went on for far longer than my twin sis who had a emergency c/section. I was on pain meds for a whole lot longer and I KNOW I don't have a low pain threshold - I have endometriosis!!! My sis has since had a vbac and wishes she opted for c/section again.

Yes I hear about the quick recovery peeps make after vag, but that didn't happen for me! just my opinion though
