Im 18 and pregnant. Im not a slut...i dont screw around. im pregnant by my fiance. BUT, ive only had sex with him. My "fun hole" isnt that big. I dont want a vaginal birth bc my hole it small and I dont want to be in labor for 25 hours, so i had my mind set on having a c-section. But my mom and big sister told me that you can only get a c-section if its an emergency. You just cant ask to have one. URH! Does n e 1 know if this is true? Also, which one do you think is better? Please only answer if u know what ur talking about. THANKS!

I had my first son at 17. I had(and have) only slept with the father. I had a normal delivery, and I was in labor for a looong time, but I don't feel contractions. I was in active labor for about 4 hours. With my second one(born May 25,2006), I was in labor for about 2 hours. And it wasn't one of the horror stories you hear. I didn't feel a contraction at all, until they started the Pitocin. All the pain goes away as soon as you lay eyes on your baby. Pushing actually feels GOOD.
Your "fun-hole" will stretch. BUT do Kegels constantly. I was worried about the same thing. And my (now) husband says that I'm still "tight" down there.
Also, recovery from Csections are so hard(so I've heard). My mom had to have one with me because I was breeched. Within an hour of having my kids, I was up walking around. A little painful, but according to my doctor, I'm too tough for my own good. You'll want to be able to care for your baby, and having a Csection just makes it harder to get around. Plus, you have that big scar. I'm sure most women who have had to have a C section would rather have had a vaginal delivery.
Best of luck to you, Congrats on the upcoming bundle of joy!

Okay, I'll be nicer this time...
All women start off with small vaginas. The female body is designed to accomodate childbirth. Your opening is very stretchable for one and for another, when a doctor sees that the vagina is unable to accomodate the babies head he will more than likely do an epesiotomy. It is a surgical incision made to the lower prtion of the vagina. Traditionally c-sections are reserved for emergencies, so it will be up to your doctor to determine this during delivery.
I'm just wondering if you do not want a vaginal birth because you think that you will be "stretched out" or that you fear that you might be torn?
I have 5 children, all born naturally. I believe that walking during the pregnany strengthens the pelvic muscles that will help you deliver your baby. This will help shorten delivery time when it comes to the push stage.
I have come to learn that a lot of womens horror stories about being in labor for "hours, upon hours" are mostly exagerated. They start counting from the first tiniest twinge that they feel., sometimes days before their actual labor starts. It is the body preparing for actual labor. I don't consider it labor until you feel the contractions and they are regular. All of my deliveries were less than 5 hours from the onset of labor to screaming baby. My secret is that walking I mentioned earlier. When I feel that I am beginning labor, I start walking to speed things up. Why do you think that you see so many women walking around the maternity wings?

If it's not an emergency it's better for you and your baby to have a vaginal birth. Believe me I've had 3 kids and things get back to normal. :) Having a c section now can set you up for repeated ones in the future. They are also harded to recover from. I had two labors under 10 hours, and one that was 14. They have drugs, epidurals, etc. Didn't hardly feel a thing.

C-sections are major surgery! The recovery time could be double or triple that of a vaginal birth. Your "fun hole" is made to have babies, chances are you will be able to do it. I doubt you'll find a doctor who will let you have a c-section, no questions asked.
Personally, I would never CHOOSE a C-section over a vaginal birth. I understand that it is sometimes necessary for the mom and baby, I just wouldn't pick having my stomach ripped open over the natural way.

Your Mother and Sister are right. You can only have a C-Section if your doctor considers it necessary. They will not do them just because you ask. C-Sections carry more risk, it is considered a surgery. I had my first 2 children natural 8 and 5 hours of labor. You can ask for an epidural. Much less painful. I had my 3rd child by C-Section, and it took me about 6 weeks to fully heal. I would take natural child birth over a C-Section any day.

Vaginal births have a lot quicker recovery time...c-sections take longer to recover from as you need to heal. Trust me...your vagina will open up enough to deliver a baby. C-sections are only used in case of emergency's. Labour is good fot the baby also.

As many others have suggested, vaginal. restoration is plenty much less complicated. As commonly, you will no longer have a decision - they're going to prefer you to have vaginal, till you prefer a c-area. terrific for toddler? they say that usually having a vaginal beginning motives a humorous formed head, yet the two one in all my daughters got here out suitable. yet another advice, you (and probably your hubby yet purely somewhat) could watch Discovery well being Channel and/or TLC for his or her toddler exhibits. i did no longer rather watch till after 1st being pregnant and desire I watched quicker. you are able to study plenty! and that i do advise getting an epidural and discomfort purely isn't that undesirable.

probably if your willing to pay...they tried real hard to make me have a vaginal birth...i ended up having a c-section...its shitty cuz now i got a huge *** scar on my stomach and a lil fat pouch that i cant get rid of...when i had my son the next day i remember being envious of the mothers that could walk around and feel hardly any pain while i felt like i got hit by a car...i could barely walk...they told me that if i climbed too many stairs that i could start hemoraging (life threatening)...healing time is also faster for vaginal births
