Genuine qns: Did Sex life came to your mind when considering delivery options - Natural / C Sect?

Question

I’m about to choose my delivery option, Natural / C-Sect, but mother has advised me to do C-Sect since it has affected her love life after giving birth naturally twice due to tearing of vagina etc. What are your thoughts? Thanks to advise 1st time Mum.

For myself.. that’s the last thing I thought of because we don’t have plans for a second child in the meantime (our plan is that when our firstborn is 2 then we’ll start trying). Recovery time was my first priority and since baby was already head down and no complications, I can choose from both options. After I gave birth, both of us were so tired that all we think of is sleep when it comes to bed (we don’t have extra help/CL), on top of that, I had to pump frequently so it gets more tiring for me with the frequent wakes.
