None is easy, Vaginal birth or CS. Dey both have dia advantages and advantages. But believe me, NEVER opt 4 CS unless it's absolutely necessary! Don't believe anyone who tells u CS is better or less painful. Dat I know is a very big, fat lie!

My first pregnancy made me very beautiful, I'm slim and fair naturally but I became white and I was glowing. Due to my petite stature, I feared giving birth to a big baby so I controlled my beverage intake unless d craving was very intense. The pregnancy went well but as I approached my due date, I became so heavy and uncomfortable with d weight. I search thru d net on how to induce labour naturally as its two days to my EDD, I found answers.
First - excercise
Second- intimacy with my husband
I started climbing a mattress in our guest room as if it was a stair case, I kept doing dt at intervals, then in the night,I asked my hubby for us to get intimate, he pitied me but did it cos I insisted. I wasn't pleasurable but I endured, lo and behold, in d morning of the next day around 11am, I felt like I want to wee, wen I was cleaning up, I saw mucus with blood stain, I knew labour has stared,my mucus plug has been removed. D contractns strtd coming but not painful and I was timing it as the Dr said its wen its 5mins apart dt one sld start coming, but I dint wait for dt as it was going to around 9pm and as a first time parent, I dint want to take chances. We got to UCH and d pain has strtd coming but still bearable, wen I was checked, I dilated on 2cm so I still have a long way to go. To cut the story short, at a point, I cldnt bear d pain anymore, I was shouting in tongues and begging d baby to come, I made nail pattern on my husband's hands while holding him during d contraction pain, it wasn't untill d next morning dt I put to bed 7.11, my bouncing baby boy. I lost all feelings, cldnt even feel joy or sorry, d dr sew up my episiotomy and was taked to d ward, it wasn't until I slept and woke up dt I felt dis joy of motherhood. Pains from d episiotomy set in in day but I knwe at d back of my mind dt it wasn't for ever, it will surely end some day. My second journey is for another time...

My second missionary journey.
I was four month pregnant when I started having contractions. I was so scared then cos I thought I was going to lose the baby. The contractions were always severe which can last up to a minute at times. Whenever I go to see the doctor to complain, they'll do scan for me and tell me my baby was alright. That was how I continued till the d day. I was hoping that I could have my second baby naturally but my hope was cut short when it was discovered that my baby was transverse too. I kept praying and hoping that God will do wonders. When I was 38 weeks gone, I went for scan and thank God my baby has turned head down but there was another problem again; I was having placenta previa( my placenta was covering my cervix where the baby was meant to pass through) though not fully covered but was adviced not to take the risk.
The D day, it was on a sunday when I started having this severe contraction but thought it was like the previous ones. I decided not to call my matron cos if I did, she'll tell me to start coming to the hospital and I wanted to watch big brother africa, it was the opening of the show, so I didn't want to miss any part of it, lol grin it was when they finished the grand opening it finally downed on me. I was confused, couldn't sleep and my hubby wasn't even around but my mum was with me. I waited till the following day, went to hospital, they monitored my contractions and knew I was in labour. They called the surgeon to start coming and he said he'll come by 2pm. All this happened around 8am oo. I couldn't cry. The labour pains were just unbearable. It was as if they were using a very thick rope to tie my stomach. To the glory of God, I was finally moved into the theatre around 2:30pm. My baby boy was brought out less than 10 minutes later. My matron was like J see your baby it's a boy. See he's ball, they are complete, non is hidden I was so happy and grateful to God Almighty. The pains were worth it.

lol. You must sleep with your wife when she is heavy. If you don't there will be no way for the baby to pass through and that might lead to your wife giving birth through CS. I don't have a child yet but that is what a doctor friend told me.

Sorry madam, i think you misunderstood your doctor friend. Yes, sex during the last phase of pregnancy is encouraged as it helps to induce labour in cases of post datism and (supposedly) makes labour easier. But it isnt compulsory. The vaginal/ birth canal is never 'blocked' due to pregnancy so there is always a way for the baby to pass. What do you think happens to women whose husbands are not around during the last phase of pregnancy or ladies whose pregnancies were denied? They all deliver thru cs? There are many indications for c-section, lack of intimacy is not 1 of them
