My sister's first was a c section because she was frank (??) breech. That was 8 years ago. My nephews (ages 4 and 6) were both vaginal births. I don't think she had any meds for them. Ben was early and they gave her pitosin, which complicated matters, but as for the birth itself, she was fine, except that she tore terribly. The doctor's shift was ending and he wanted that baby born! Jonathan, I think, just fell out. Then with Emma, the doctors didn't want her to have another vaginal birth because the muscles in there were too stretched and weak. They didn't want her insides to come out with the baby, so a c-section was scheduled. All 4 of them are healthy and my sister hasn't had any residual complications.
