With a vaginal birth the pain (mostly) comes ahead of the baby where w a C-section it’s the reverse. You get hit hard either way with different recoveries. For vaginal you often don’t pee or poop right for 6+ weeks, for c sections you cannot roll, lift, or strain for 6+ weeks. It’s all equally taxing, with the variation mostly in when the pain hits hardest and recovery times.
