Third baby birth experiences 🙏🏼

Hiya, I am pregnant with my third. First was natural, baby was over 10pound and had prolapse and lost a lot of blood.
Second baby was planned c section due to baby also growing big which when they arrived they was also over 10lb
Now having third baby I am so 50/50 if I want to go natural or another planned c section.
I found recovery with my first took longer as I was in a lot of pain with prolapse.
Also been informed (even tho there’s a low chance) you can suffer with uterine rupture which scares me slightly
I was wondering if anyone has been in my shoes or have experience both and what labour you chose the third time around.
Also how did you find recovery from second c sections ??
Would love to hear peoples stories and experiences ❤️
Much appreciated
Xx

I had a super long story typed out but figured I'd just get to the point. I just had my second c section and idk if it was because I knew what to expect this time around, or just having a better dr this pregnancy, but it was very restorative. I was hoping for a vbac up until 39w but ultimately decided to go for a repeat c section. I'm not saying it was easy, I dont think any birth is easy, but this was the right choice for me. My advice is to just play it out as your pregnancy progresses and listen to your intuition, deep down you will know what you truly want. Good luck 🫶

Im 39 weeks today and just came back from triage.. the doctor said that I can be induced on Friday. I’m terrified. What do I expect ?? I’ve watched the video they gave me but my heads all over the place.

Healing tips

I had an emergency C-section on 09/04. I’m having pain in my back from the spinal block and sometimes my incision burns on one side. Does anyone have any healing tips for me?
