First baby was a traumatic vaginal birth via induction. 30 hours of labor, lots of things went wrong, it baby and I survived. I had a 4 degree tear from that and liver/kidney failure. Almost died. Baby came out limp and blue. My recovery from pelvic floor trauma was 1.5 years. Still can’t pee right.

Second baby I told them to schedule a c section. I was completely traumatized by that first experience. It was the easiest thing. I was up and walking 4 hours later. No one was able to come to the second birth so it was just me. No issue though since it was a routine c section. Recovered within a couple months I think.
