I have friends who believe that the birthing process would stretch their vagina too much. I told them that all parts of the body already start to stretch from start of pregnancy, getting ready for the moment. Same goes for breastfeeding. Even without breastfeeding, the breast would not be perky once gravity takes it’s toll.

My friends who have had the C-section always find that they have this annoying pouch in their tummy that no amount of exercise/situps/crunches could get rid of. Also the wound would still be sensitive even after many years and would cause irritations especially when wearing bikini panties.

So my take would be to go natural, like so many millions of women throughout the ages.Of course the exception would be if there’s an emergency. I went natural all three times, and I was up and about within a few hours and could breastfeed.

You said it well- go for natural and leave c-sections for emergency cases if you can. I can not imagine why in the world anyone would WANT a c-section if they could do natural safely!

Yeah, labour pains are indeed a pain, but it’s okay .. part of the process and all .. and it’s true that most people forget about it after it’s all over. Remember to do your Kegels during your confinement and after! Good luck!
