Birthing is hard no matter which way its done. Cesarean is a serious surgery, can lead to infection, stitches ripping, and its very hard for new mums to find comfort to breastfeed or get up to tend to new baby in such a state. Most women who have natural births in this day an age don't have many problems. Tearing only occurs when you push too hard/ too fast. Sometimes they have to snip ya down there but it heals up. As for burning when you pee, that's only if you tear or get lacerations and they give you numbing spray for that. Take a chill pill and quit acting holier than thou, natural or by cesarean giving birth is risky and stressful. No one way is "better", the only thing that matters is if babe and mum aare OK.

Yep. I got to watch this live when my daughter was born.

It's earth-mothers like you who are told they have 11 pound babies yet who INSIST on birthing vaginally, and who then sue the hospital when their baby gets shoulder dystocia and suffers brain damage.

You seriously sound like you have major issues...

If I ever had to have a c-section I'd want it to be as natural as possible.

oh where to start with a reply. i might just leave it at the facepalm

Why the hell do they try to squeeze the baby out of such a small hole! I thought the aim of the procedure was to be used to remove them quickly, not play around with that tool in there to try and squeeze their head out of a little hole

Eh, he knows more about it than me.

Unfortunately babies heads have been crushed before by doctors using the metal forceps for delivery
