37 weeks and dilemma

Hi mummies I am FTM I am not sure if i want to go for natural delivery or c sect, my constipation today i think made small tear near my anus it’s sting when kena water. If a hard poop can make the skin tear easily then isnt the childbirth will make me tear even more to the point reach 3rd or 4th degree? 🙁 I know i have to decide asap but c sect ppl say recovery is slower😵‍💫

i went thru natural birth for my 1st born. had a small tear and some stitch. actually the wound is not that painful since gt painkiller. heals really fast to be honest. but i find the cleaning a challenge as i cant really see the vaginal. need my husband to help most of the time. peeing and pooping is manageable. its painful usually when i try to sit. although csect heal slower, i think its easier to manage the wound without help post delivery. i may consider csect for my 2nd baby in feb nxt yr coz i wan to be able to sit and rest comfortably. 🤣
