I haven't had both, but I have had two sections - one emergency after a very very long labour the second planned as it was 13 months after my first and there was concern about the same circumstances reoccurring - large baby lying back to back and getting stuck - with the added complication of a scar that they were not sure would hold during labour. Neither was a cop out and the recovery time after a section is usually much longer than a natural birth. The second planned section was much better in that I did not have a protracted labour first, and much less blood loss and was therefore in a much better place to recover faster - with two babies by then, I needed it!
I can't say whether the bonding would have been better with a natural birth, but i certainly did not have any issues with bonding. I was just happy to have a healthy baby both times!
I wouldn't necessarily recommend opting for a cs, but I would not worry if that is what you end up with. At the end of the day, it is more important to have a safe delivery for mother and baby than to get hung up on whether the baby came out the door or the sunroof.
Unless it is particularly traumatic or you have to have a general, your heart will still melt as they hold up your newborn after the birth.
Hope it all goes well for all the new arrivals and that one of them comes soon!
