Because cesarean delivery involves major surgery and anesthesia, there are also risks associated with this method of delivery. Some of these include: Cesarean delivery is associated with a higher rate of injury to abdominal organs (bladder, bowel, blood vessels), infections (wound, uterus, urinary tract), and thromboembolic (blood clotting) complications than vaginal delivery. Cesarean surgery decreases the opportunity for mother-infant interaction in the delivery room. Because cesarean delivery is major surgery, recovery takes longer than with vaginal delivery. Cesarean delivery is associated with a higher risk of abnormal attachment of the placenta in subsequent pregnancies, which can lead to serious complications, such as bleeding. Incising the uterus to deliver the baby weakens the uterus, increasing the risk of uterine rupture in future pregnancy. This risk is small, but not zero, and depends on the type of uterine incision.

i had a c-section and the only thing you have to worry about is the epideral (that hurts!) and the fact that you have to go under surgical procedure (c-section). the recovery will take about 3 weeks...but no worry its not as bad as you probably think it is...you will be given medicine for it..lol..you will be left with a scar..but that will be the best memory scar..it is for me anyways.... unfortanatly you will be numb and won't be able to move so you wouldn't be able to hold your baby right after the birth..and you have to stay in the hospital a little longer with a c-section than with a normal one....anyways... i hope this helps... :)

I've talked to a few wise people and they told me you can even go paralised in the C-section surgery. A couple of girls I know throught my friends had C-section and now their back aches a lot. When they will be older they might have more back problems. Natural way is the best, but if you are having a problem giving birth throught natural way don't risk, you'll just have to let doctors cut your stomach open.

It's more fluid in the babies lungs,the mother experience pain longer,and a scar.

adding on to all these things they say, it is also said that because medicine has never really looked into women's physiology (ie men = the norm, and anything differing to that doesn't matter), as it turns out some C-sections could cut off important nerves to do with sexual sensation :( C-sections are done far more than is needed mostly because of how medicalised birth has become - most of the time, birth is not a life-or-death situation, it just happens, and you never have to intervene that much. But it's quicker, on schedule and brings in money to do C-sections.

I had 3 natural births and a gap of 10 years before my next one. I saw a sea change in attitudes in that time. The slightest sign of risk was met with 'c-section' as a resolution. My last baby was transverse, just like the one before that. In the previous pregnancy I waited till labour to see if she'd turn, and she did, without intervention. I was relatively well with the next pregnancy but was mainly met with resistance when i suggested i wanted a natural birth. I felt so pressured I accepted it in the end and it was an unhappy experience for me. I met another lady on the ward who'd always wanted a c-section and felt it had been a positive experience so I think it's about your own outlook. It took me a year before I felt like I was truly over the operation. I still have sensation problems in the scar area. If I have another child I'd write a birth plan and it would say 'trial by labour' in big letters at the top.
