What is more painful C section or natural birth?
Vaginal delivery is the most common and safest type of childbirth. You'll probably hear the term ânatural childbirthâ .The risk for discomfort after the birth is greater due to normal and expected surgical pain along the incision and abdominal soreness. These discomforts can last for several months. There is an increased risk for rupture of the C-section scar during subsequent deliveries and subsequent pregnancies.
