“Unraveling Loyalty: Husband’s Shocking Departure After Wife’s C-Section Sparks Controversy”

That being said, vaginal births can take longer and may be more painful. However, they also offer a unique experience both for the mom and her partner.

Generally, c-sections are recommended for moms who have high-risk pregnancies and can mean a longer stay at the hospital. Before making any decision, be sure to talk to your doctor about the upsides and downsides of either approach and what may be best for you and your baby.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, you may need a C-section if you have certain medical conditions or if complications occur during labor.

You may need an unplanned C-section delivery if labor isn’t progressing, the umbilical cord loops around the baby’s body, the cord comes out of your cervix before the baby, or the placenta separates from the wall of your uterus before childbirth.

Your doctor may also suggest an emergency C-section if your baby is in distress. In the US, C-sections are fairly common, accounting for around 30% of all deliveries.
