Every book tells you a c/s is 4 times more 'dangerous' than a vaginal birth but I never know what they mean by that.
So, what exactely are the risks, side effects and long-term problems of a c/s for mother and child? Also, surely a planned c/s will be safer than an emergency one?
Oh, and just how likely is it to get a urinary infection because of the catheter?
Thanks,
