Emma, sorry to hear about the trauma of your last birth. For me, my vaginal births meant being able to walk around right after birth, no painkillers and feeling like a lioness after. My sister, who had a c/s after two VBs, swears that her c/s was the worst thing ever - she was in pain for weeks and weeks after.

Just another example of how everyone's different, and how people react differently to different things.
