It is said that vaginal delivery is very painful. Many mothers choose to have a cesarean section, and some may do so because their bodies do not allow it. The fact proves that the pain of cesarean section is not small but lasts for a longer time, especially after the anesthesia wears off after childbirth. So, what is the level of pain after cesarean section?
Firstly, the pain during both vaginal and cesarean delivery is around level 10, with the difference being that vaginal delivery is a pain that occurs before delivery and lasts relatively short. Cesarean section, on the other hand, involves administering anesthesia, inserting a urinary catheter, and experiencing pain from the wound after postpartum anesthesia. Additionally, cesarean section may also result in postpartum uterine contractions, which is not as easy as vaginal delivery.
Secondly, vaginal delivery is a momentary pain, especially during the delivery process, but it lasts for a relatively short period of time. Although cesarean section does not have to endure the pain before delivery, it faces a series of pain in the later stage and relatively recovers faster than vaginal delivery. Moreover, surgery can cause a lot of harm to the body and require longer periods of pain.
If the body permits and the fetus develops normally, it is recommended to have a vaginal delivery. Although the pain is unbearable before giving birth, there is no more pain after giving birth to the baby. Moreover, babies who undergo compression in the birth canal are relatively smarter and have stronger resistance, which is more beneficial for both the growth of the baby and the recovery of the mother's body.
