Which is Better, Natural Birth Or Cesarean Section?

The vaginal delivery is the natural way of birth and birth through Cesarean Section is the surgical way. The doctors resort to birth through C-section when vaginal delivery became difficult or for some reason related to the mother or the fetus or both of them.
What are the causes of the increasing percentage of the Cesarean section?
The proportion of C-sections during the last three decades has increased significantly until it reached 25% in some hospitals and more than this percentage in a lot of hospitals.
These are some of the reasons:
The increased proportion of pregnancy among older women.
The spread of fetal monitoring electronic devices has revealed the suffering of the fetus in its early stages.
Repeated Cesarean section, the first surgery followed by C-section again.
Limited or Lack of awareness of the dangers of Cesarean section.
The atmosphere around the pregnant during her labor such as pressure of the parents and their eagerness, fear and anxiety, all these factors might drive the pregnant woman to the path of surgical termination of pregnancy.
The purpose of both natural delivery and C-section is to end pregnancy safely for both the mother and fetus. Please note that the contribution made by the spread of Cesarean section to reduce the mortality rate of the pregnant women and babies is significant.
Which is better for the health of the fetus?
The Cesarean section is a recent surgical procedure and its results are not the best for the fetus compared to natural birth.
In the normal cases, breathing difficulties are more common after C-section than after birth natural.
Whichever is easier for the physician to perform Cesarean section or natural birth?
-The expert physician can perform C-section in about 25-35 minutes, if things took place without any complications.
-Natural birth is unpredictable in terms of the timing and duration as well as it can be cumbersome, laborious and stressful for the doctor because it requires much longer time, in the other hand, natural birth can be quick and easy.
Which is easier for pregnant women?
We are not supposed to look for easier way for the pregnant women, but for the most correct and healthy way. It is true that the pregnant woman will not feel pain during surgery under general anesthesia, but the suffering after the end of a cesarean section may outweigh the pain of natural childbirth, besides natural childbirth is not always accompanied by severe pain which depends on the threshold of pain of the pregnant woman which varies from a woman to another, and with the same woman from pregnancy to another.
