37 weeks and dilemma

Hi mummies I am FTM I am not sure if i want to go for natural delivery or c sect, my constipation today i think made small tear near my anus it’s sting when kena water. If a hard poop can make the skin tear easily then isnt the childbirth will make me tear even more to the point reach 3rd or 4th degree? 🙁 I know i have to decide asap but c sect ppl say recovery is slower😵‍💫

I went with natural delivery, no regrets. There will be slight stinging sensation and discomfort down there for about a month. Nothing unbearable. But at least I was able to carry my baby and walk around 3 days after delivery. Post pregnancy, it took about 6 months for my body to feel like it has gone back to it's normal pre pregnancy state, and it was a gradual process. Be patient and mentally prepare yourself that recovery will take time, regardless of the option you choose. Good luck
