Under normal circumstances, both normal labor and cesarean section are painful; the approximate difference between the two is generally that the former is painful before or during labor, while the latter is painful when recovering from surgery. When a pregnant woman has a normal delivery, she will generally have abdominal pain with contractions, which also generally get stronger and more painful; painless labor can be chosen to reduce the pain during delivery. Pregnant women after cesarean section surgery, with the end of the postoperative analgesic pump, generally to pain from a few hours to a few days, the level of pain with the recovery of the incision gradually reduce. As you can see, whether it is a cesarean section or a normal delivery, it is usually painful, and pregnant women need to choose whether to have a cesarean section or a normal delivery according to their own situation and under the guidance of their doctor.
