I want know vaginal birth good for me or not? I have 35 years old, first baby.?



Answers:
C Section is painful, requires greater recuperation time, you also get a scar from it.
You should try your hardest to have a Vag Delivery.
No problems on my side after having two kids.
Your age isn't a determining factor in whether or not you will have an easy vaginal birth.
If you have no other health issues, and the pregnancy is progressing normally, there is no reason not to have a vaginal delivery.
C-sections suck. Much pain in recovery. Keep this in mind.
never mind good for u, its whats good for the baby that matters. What a weird question
35 is young these days. I suggest you discuss it with your doctor, but I had both of my children c-section..the recovery time is longer, but it is a short labor! :) godd luck whatever you decide. :)
Yes, you'll be fine. Your age shouldn't really be an issue.
Why would it not be good for you. Labour is good for the baby. I delivered my son at 35 as well. he was my first baby. I had to be induced at 39 weeks.labour was about 6 hours, and I pushed him out in 33 min. You really can't make a decision on vaginal or c-section.its whatever is best and is decided by the DR
well i suppose natural is always best, i dont understand why women opt for ceasereans, the recovery time is so much longer, with a natural birth youre up and about in a day
If pregnancy was fine, there is no reason why vaginal delivery wouldn't be attempted.
You should be fine- that is how is it usually done= at any age- D
Shouldn't the first question be which is better for the Baby?

Do you want A scar? or to be opened the size of a watermellon?

Good for you.. WTF?!?!?!

Yes, unless there is some complication, you should try for a vaginal birth. This is safer and healthier for you and baby. C/S is major surgery and brings additional risks.
Just because you are 35 doesn't mean you should have a c-section. There are many factors that can contribute to that. For example, baby's size, position, the way your pelvis shaped etc. I have known many pregnant women who were between 35-40 who had a vaginal birth. Remember that's what our body's are for. I have also know many women of all ages that have had c-sections for various reasons myself included and I am 27. But assuming that everything else looks the way it's suppose there is no reason you can't have a natural birth. Good luck and congrats!!
i prefer them. I am only 24, but have had two. I think if you can do it, then try that first. I think c-sections are harder to recover from. but good luck and congrats on that baby.
Can you ask natural birth instead ?! it's sounded better. It's never too late to have normal birth. Friend of mine had a Cesarean twice after one normal birth (natural one) and in her opinion natural IS better, no matter age. The only one thing: if your little one is brich then you don't have much of the choice ( it's how baby lying inside you)
As long as your Dr. doesn't find any problems, having it natural is always the best way. Congratulations and best wishes for a easy labor!
At 35 you should not have any difficulties delivering a baby naturally as long as you are in good shape. I would suggest staying active as long as possible it will make your delivery easier.
There are only two reasons for a c-section.

1.medical need
2.vanity

If you choose it for vanity, I would feel sorry for the child having such a stupid mother!
I can tell you from personal experience, vaginal births are better.

I had a c/section with my first and it was horrible. Some women can recover quickly and go shopping within days, but most don't. (And why do you want to be out shopping days after having a baby ANYWAY?)

I later had a VBAC (Vaginal Biirth After Cesarean) and it was an amazing experience. They brought me pain pills afterwards, and I asked them what were they for! I was in ZERO pain compared to the hours and days and weeks after my c/s. Even now, 11 years later, my scar tissue still pulls painfully sometimes.

Do not have a c/section just to avoid labor. It is major surgery and there are more risks for you and the baby having a c/section that isn't medically warranted. I'm now 37 weeks pregnant and hoping for another VBAC.

Bottom line is that vaginal births are safer for you and your baby. C-section babies are at higher risk for lung problems, because the amniotic fluid isn't squeezed out. You are at higher risk for infection (I had secondary infertility as a result of my infection, I had to have surgery again to get pregnant this time!) Go for the real deal hon!
Yes its the best even at 35 as long as your doctor thinks everything is going well and both you and the baby are healthy. I cant understand why any woman would want a C section. They are painful and you have to have a longer time of recuperation and on top of that you have to take care of a newborn. Very difficult. I have had 3 natural births and I have another due in March and right after the births, I had an easy time, and was never in any pain afterwards.
I delivered my first at 37 years old. I think that I was monitored closely (teaching hospital with lots of med. students watching ) but everything went fine. Good luck to you and the babe.
My wife has had 4 children - 4 vaginal births, the last one when she was in her mid thirties. Keep fit and if possible try to stay mobile until at least active labour has started - this often helps shorten labour and make it more bearable.
I think its the better than a c-section, which is major surgery and is a much longer time recuperating.
Either way there are complications with both vaginal and c-section. I had both and they were both painful. With my vaginal birth they gave me gas but that just doesn't cut it, that just makes you feel like your sufforcating, they gave me demerol and it helped with the contractions when they got stronger, once the contractions which felt like really really strong period cramps, got to painful i asked for an epidural but my doctor said i was to late... once the babies head dropped, I thought the pain of the contractions where bad until the head dropped that was the most painful, it feels like you are pushing through a ring of fire, no joke it really feels like you are pushing through a ring of fire, and i was yelling at everyone in the room, and screaming.. then when you really feel like you need to push the doctor tells you no don't push yet, the pain of pushing through a contraction hurts and i don't think i could describe the pain. then after my baby was born you have to deliver the placenta, then that's when i ran into complications I started bleeding internally felt like i was going to pass out, doctors rushed into the room, the room was packed my baby had water in her lungs, then i was bleeding and they needed to sew me up but it hurt so much cause they were digging inside me, they started setting up an epidural but managed to stop the bleeding, the baby was fine they got the water out, i don't know what was really going on cause i was almost fainting... Then get this after everything was done and they stopped my bleeding, and they took the baby to look at her some more I was left in the room all by myself for a long time my mom and dad and my husband took off to see the baby and i was laying there like Hello, there was just a room full of people where did everyone go? That was my experience with vaginal delivery, well the healing after it totally felt like i had bricks tied to my butt and it felt so heavy to lift myself off the bed to go see my baby, then you think I could get some sleep nope doctors come in and out of the room almost every hour even when you are sleeping and wake you up, so that was no fun, then when you go pee it hurts like needles are coming out of you and they give you a bottle that you put warm water in to squirt yourself while you pee to help with the pain and my pain lasted a little over a month I almost held my washroom in till i really needed it cause i hated to go pee and feel that pain... I had to get a c-section with my second child cause she was too big, and I was soooooooooooo scared to get this done cause a couple of girls I know just had c-sections and FELT THEM CUT THEM..... they weren't frozen enough and felt the doctors cut into them so i was sort of scared..
With a c-section well they give you a needle in your back and freeze you from the shoulders down, you feel a lot of tugging and pulling, i had a nurse talk me through the whole thing cause everytime i felt something i freaked wondering if i was suppose to feel it but they assured me I was suppose to feel a lot of tugging and pulling. then when they pull the baby out the nurse warned me that I would feel a lot of pressure on my chest, well it felt like an elephant sat on my chest when they pulled out the baby i felt like i was going to pass out... then in the recovery room the pain you feel really hurts, they give you pain killers as soon as you ask for them, then they take you on a bed to your room they make you lift yourself up to change beds and that is sooooooooo painful moving to the next bed.. i was in the hospital longer with a c-section, i hated it, everytime you laugh or cough or move to get up it hurts, then when you leave they take the staples out of the cut but that doesn't hurt it just looks like it would. i still get itchy near the cut and its been a year since my c-section and you get the odd pain near your cut also. but the worst is the pain in your back where i got the needle i was reaching down to get some juice out of the fridge and it felt like my back broke in half my disc slipped and now i have back problems... i'm pregnant with my third child and i know i will have to get another c-section so we will see how that goes. Whatever way you choose there is no way around the pain.. but all worth it in the end.
It doesn't matter how old you are, the doctors will not (or should not if they are being responsible) offer you a C-section unless there is something wrong with either you or the baby that makes it unsafe to deliver vaginally. That has nothing to do with age.

I'm having my first at nearly 35 and I'm going for a normal delivery - everything is fine and they would only recommend a c-section if something went wrong.

My mum had two kids (vaginally) at 36 and 42 and my grandmother had three (vaginal) births at 36, 38 and 40 (in those days there was no alternative really!).

Everyone is different. Age isn't a factor in determining whether you will be able to have your baby "naturally" or not - its more to do with your physiology, how big the baby is, what position he/she is in, whether baby baby goes into distress or there are problems in labour etc etc.

C section is major abdominal operation and can take a lot longer to recover from than a natural vaginal birth - not really what you want when you have a new baby to look after. It is a procedure that should only be carried out when there are problems and it is not possible to safely deliver the "natural" way. C sections can carry far more risks than a vaginal delivery.

It amazes me the way people talk about "vaginal delivery" as if its something unusual and rare! Thats how babies are MEANT to be born! C sections are for problems only!
