Hi mommy. I experienced both CS (actually emergency CS w/ epidural - induced labor) with my first pregnancy and then natural/no medication (VBAC) with my second pregnancy. If mataas pain tolerance mo mommy like me feeling ko kaya mo vaginal/natural birth without epidural. And based on my own experience mas better sha since ang bilis ng recovery after giving birth. The thing with epidural more-so if induced labor din is dahil numb ang feeling mo nagiging somehow challenging ang pagpush ng baby palabas which increases the risk of you needing intervention like CS which happened to me. Matagal din almost 2 months ang complete recovery ko with CS before ako nakabalik to doing my BAU tasks.
Birth plans by the way are really great. It’s good that you are going to create one. I suggest you take a look into the hospital as well where you will give birth to make sure they honor as much as they can sa birth plan that you have (of course with consideration sa magiging situation during your delivery as well). Hope everything goes well with your delivery mommy. ☺️
