Natural Birth vs. C-Section

I just heard Joe Rogan and Arian Foister shitting on women having C-section to keep the box tight. I’d like to discuss. My wife and I are planning on doing that. She’s very petite and currently has a tight snatch and does kegels and we don’t want that to change. The only benefit of natural birth I know of is the baby being covered in vaginal fluid which seeds their gut flora.

I don’t see how rubbing some pussy juice in the baby’s mouth shortly after birth wouldn’t have the same effect, which is also what we’re planning on doing. Also planning on encapsulating the placenta. Anecdotally, my birth was a C-section and I haven’t been sick in like 5 years. I believe that’s because I take my health very seriously and has nothing to do with what my gut flora at age 0 looked like. Thoughts?

Haha I love my niece, but i didn't interact with her until she was like 3 and I basically just order her around and make her get me beers.

If people like kids, cool. The world needs less of the human parasite. That being said, cosmetic c sections are dumb. You lost a lot of blood, you cut the abdomen and its more of a risk than normal birth.

As for "tightness" it's called a suture (spelling)? And after 5 years of the same thing, except now with an extra 20 LBS of baby weight and stretch marks, you really care about a little more snuggness?

Something we can agree on.

 

My wife had a c-section because my son was a Frank Breach, for a good 1 month after his legs would stick up 90 degrees, it was pretty funny and made swaddling him impossible. But it was very easy to recognize which baby was mine in the hospital. I was a c-section myself, and I'm pretty healthy although with horrible allergies(maybe from living in NYC).

I'm not gonna speak to box tightness, although as a guy with a penis I would rank that as important. A c-section is MAJOR Surgery the cut the woman's upper pubic area with a 5 inch incision and cut through the abdominal wall to access the baby. They actually make 2 incisions one horizontal which you will see and once inside they make another vertical incision. The wife will not be able to sit up or walk for a couple of days, it will be very painful and they are given percocet. It takes about 6 weeks to heal, and a woman has to do this all while breastfeeding, diaper changing etc.

I would say plan on natural, our next kid could be a v-back so I'll know then. In regards to tightness, don't they have reguvination surgeries or stuff?

 

Our baby was C-section not by choice, and the process was not fun afterward. Super long recovery process, wife will not want to have sex for a long time. Box is tight but tightly shut. That being said, vaginal birth also is a horrible and painful process and she still won't want to have sex after having a kid. Basically, what I'm saying is, carpe diem.

Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes.
 

This is actually very similar to the argument in favor of breastfeeding.

There is also an alarming contingent of women who prepare food with the placenta too.

This gives me a new business idea, start up a high end day spa where BSD's can get a vaginal bath for the health benefits.

Plot twist, it is actually Gatorade, the power was within you monkeys all along.

 

have you ever seen a girl with a c section? It looks so jacked up. also, the amount of pain they have to go through after the C section doesn't sound very exciting.

my wife had both our kids natural and she's fine..

I would be more worried about the damage a C section will do than natural birth stretching things out a bit...

We are about to have twins and my wife wants to make sure we have them do a flora seeding should we need a c-section. Just raise it up as a concern heading in and try to remember after the kid is born.

...are we not doing "phrasing" anymore?

Your immune system develops over the first several months of life with the help of a bacterial community that you inherit from your mother during the natural birth process (the womb is sterile, so this comes from the vaginal microbiome). C-Section babies tend to have higher rates of autoimmune diseases such as allergies, crohn's disease, inflammatory bowel disease, intolerance to various foods, etc. Natural birth is way better for the baby over the long run.

Source: just finished reading a scientific book on the topic, backed up by a lot of research (the book is called "I Contain Multitudes")

 

Good stuff, guys. Keep it coming. Still on the fence. Leaning toward natural actually.

Guys whose wives have given natural birth, can you describe exactly what effect it had on the pussy long term? What was the tightness reduction? 20%? Do those tightening surgeries work?

I half want to just hold off until they can clone me. I'd love to raise a clone of myself. Pretty sure I have an ego disorder but it feels good so whatever.

I'm really struggling to imagine the thought structure for which this data point would be necessary.

"Well, if the median Pussy Looseness Ratio (PLR) drops to 1.4:1, then c-section it is. But if it remains under that 1.4 threshold, with a 5% allowance for catastrophic risk, then I think natural birth is the way to go. Faceless denizens of the internet, could you please describe in stomach-churning detail the viscoelastic properties of your wives' vaginas?"

I would listen to the doctors over Mark Cuban. Believe me, we are debating this now and the she is the one who does not want to do it - which surprised the shit out of me.
