Patient's question:
My best friend is pregnant, and her due date is next month. She has been calling me recently, saying she's very sad about giving birth and that it will be very painful. I don't know how to comfort her. I want to ask, is it better to have a C-section or a natural birth? I've heard that a C-section is less painful.Doctor's answer:
It's always better to have a natural birth. After giving birth naturally, you can start moving around after 3 hours and can get up and exercise. With a C-section, it doesn't hurt at the time, but after the anesthesia wears off, it becomes quite painful. The wound also takes a long time to heal completely, and you won't be able to get pregnant normally again until 2 to 3 years later. It's best to tell you, if your best friend has the condition, it's better to have a natural birth. In addition to timely treatment for a C-section, friends who are ill should always maintain a positive attitude and face the disease head-on.
