I have had both. Yes, c-section I hated but I didn't have a choice.

You see my first was sick and I was induced, my second I fell victim to the DR wanting to induce labor because it was easier for them, then the third was my last chance, I wanted to know what it felt like to tell my husband, "it's time" sounds silly I know. But I wanted to do it ALL natural, not just no pain meds, I wanted to go into labor stay in labor at home until I knew I needed to go.

My son has Spina Bifida and a vaginal birth wasn't an option. I'm sure him being in the NICU for almost a month has a bit to do with my initial lack of maternal instinct, but the c-section coupled with the "will he live?" and the NICU stay really took me a long time to completely fall head over heels(if you will). Don't get me wrong, I love all 3 of my children the same, but there was definitely something missing in the first months of my youngests life and regrettably, I will never get that "something" back.
