So this will be my third pregnancy, and I’m extremely excited except for the delivery part. With my second, the delivery was traumatic, she got stuck and it was very scary, and the recovery was awful. Deep tearing all the way to my butt really bad hemorrhoids. Even the nurse made a comment about how bad the swelling was and that it looked like I had testicles 😑. My first baby was exactly 7 pounds, my second baby was 7 pounds and 3 ounces. They weren’t huge, the delivery was not too bad for the first, but pretty rough for the second. This time around, the doctor has suggested that it might be good to think about scheduling a C-section. I’m not completely opposed to the idea, but I hear a lot of people talk about how awful the recovery is for C-section, and I want to hear from moms that had kind of a rough vaginal delivery and then maybe a planned C-section. What did you prefer? And why? What parts where harder or easier. I’m not sure what I want to do but I have lots of time to think about as im only 10 weeks pregnant.
