My first was natural and 2nd was via C-section as she was a breech baby. I must say I healed must faster with a natural birth, I was driving to the supermarket on the 3rd day to buy Pampers while I was hobbling in pain even after 1st week after the C-section. Natural for me anytime!!
 
Buyer Beware

I was told by a doctor that some doctors encourage their patient to have C section because:
- it costs more ( so doctor can earn big fat fees)
- it is easier and faster for doctor than if he/she does a normal delivery.
so.. Buyer Beware!

I agree with butterfly.. seems to be the trend especially here in the region...

another thing I would like to add is that a breech baby doesnt mean C-section.. you can have a perfectly normal Vaginal delivery with a breech baby.. but of course it needs a lot of patience.. and the correct doc to support/advise you.. which seem to be lacking here...
 
This C-section craze is not at all encouraging!
Any advice on doctors who were not pushy and would respect your choice?
I'm not even pregnant yet, but there is nothing I worry more than having to do a CS.
 
my dr is louisa lam. she lets u do whatever u want as long as it's safe for mom & baby. she even let me try hypno-birth! with my instructor w/ me at the delivery rm. she said "u can choose however way u want. but my job is to make sure that u & your baby are safe. i reserve to right to make any decisions i consider fit for you when call for." i trust her 100%. tel. 28691881. she's very busy & very patient, so expect to wait long time cos she never hurries a patient out of her office. but she gets a bit too mother-y sometimes, which i like.
 
I had both natural birth. The 2nd almost needed 'C' due to pre-mature and breech. However, she turned on the last minute and it was a quite birth without cut on me due to her small size - 2.1kg. So I recovered extremely fast.

Firstly, who says that a C-section isn't normal???? We live in the 21st Century where they are just as normal as any other birth - they are pretty much all assisted aren't they? You go to hospital don't you?

I have an elective C-section - not due to pain but because of the types of things that I have heard go wrong with vaginal births and because I had a career - it was a simple way to book the brith in and have it all go smoothly. recovery was painful but that comes with having operations.
 
Sorry Oz, didn't mean to upset you. This is an old post. How about I change it to Natural?
