Can't exactly compare the pain as it's different kind of pain for each. I didn't go through labour pain as I had elective csect at 39th wk due to baby's big size, didn't want to risk baby's shoulder dislocation if via natural. For c-sect the first 2 days probably wld be the most painful but can just pop painkillers. May be hard to walk properly for the first week. For the stitches I think it depends on how pro your gynae is. For mine I didn't feel any pain and my stitches are hardly visible at 1mo PP. Honestly for me giving birth was wayyy easier than the 4th trimester (postpartum) due to all the changes to ur lifestyle, sleep, breastfeeding, hormonal, emotional etc. I wish ppl had told me more abt how to go through the postnatal period rather than the childbirth itself😅
