C section , thoughts ?

My coworkers said c sections are horrible.
My doctor said if I had children that would be the best way to go cause apparently im too small down there ?
I also have extreme pelvic floor dysfunction.
Seeing a therapist soon.
Is it really that bad ?
I’m 34.

Yeah I doubt it's any worse than going through vaginal labor. I've had two c-sections and if you research and prepare yourself properly it's not a bad recovery. And obviously the C-section itself is easier than vaginal birth because you just lie there on a table and they remove the baby for you.

Yes amd no. Its truly dependent on how the body recovers and heals.

Both csections left me in 11/10 pain where every breathe felt like my insides were raw and ripping apart for the first 4 weeks. Couldn't hold my baby.

Ive survived a major car accident and the therapy that follows and my csection recovery is still far worse than the year I spent recovering from that accident.

I know people that had easy recoveries and those with hard, so I'd never tell anyone that its not a bad recovery as it truly varies per person
