even if u have decided, but if the baby position is not in place, you can also ended up c-sect. stitches is depends on the gynae skills and length of recovery is different for each person, some don't feels anything after c-sect, some have longer healing process on normal delivery, vice versa

It’s bearable. Doc prescribe antiseptic spray and an ointment to apply on your stitches area after vaginal delivery. I also do sitz bath with epsom salt and warm water to cleanse the vaginal area post delivery.. Natural birth def heals more quickly than c-sec.. :)

depending on how big is the baby as well. if baby is big and you will require more stitches and healing time will be longer. I took 1+ month to fully recover as my baby is on bigger side. however I believe is still better than c-sec

every individual is diff. as for me, I felt nth but my baby is kind of small at birth. after returning to ward few hrs, I am able to walk already.. doc will give antiseptic wash so to recover faster.

Natural birth recover faster? I don't know but I heard... I'm normal delivery pain about 3weeks! But first two weeks terrible, scared to go pee or poo.
