It really is, I really hope that doesn't happen again, but I kind of do because the c section recovery was 3 weeks. The natural birth took 3 months. Selfish but I want my wife to not be in pain for 3 months.
Natural birth tends to be the best for several reasons, but I understand where you're coming from.
What reasons?
For one, passing through a mother's vaginal canal is the baby's first encounter with outside bacteria and gives their immune system and intestinal bacteria a head start.
This is an article regarding mice, but I assume that the findings would apply to the human birth process as well.
