With a C, she'll be sore and still healing for a couple of months...and won't be able to do much moving around (this is from friends who had C sections, not from personal experience).

But even with epidurals, having a baby can still be a long and not-always-pleasant process. With a C-section, you go in, have a little anesthesia (either local or full knock-out) and voila! you have a baby. Granted, I don't think she really comprehends that a C-section is Major Surgery and that there could be a lengthy recovery time. I've had friends who said recovering from a C/S is one of the hardest things they've done. I have other friends who were up and about 2 days post C/S, so it all depends on the individual.
