Nautral or C Section?

Hi I am first time mum here. I am scared to think about birth because of the extreme pain during and after birth which I heard😨 Is natural birth or C Sec more painful? What about recovery? Which is more painful? Hope to hear how you all cope with it😄 By the way, I forgot to mention that I cannot take epidural due to slipped disc.

Opted for elective c sect in March after much consideration. Didn’t wanna try natural and end up with emergency c sect, cos means will have 2 wounds. I was able to walk on the second day until the nurse thought I had natural delivery. Gas will be trapped in stomach though and it caused quite a lot of pain, so just gotta keep farting haha! Think it depends on pain tolerance level. Both natural and sect will have pain, just a matter of before or after baby is out. For breastfeeding, I’m not oversupply but just nice, still providing breast milk for bb till now. Don’t think the methods affect the supply. If choose c sect, may have to bear with people’s discrimination, esp old folks. Hope this helps!
