One thing I can not stand is some women saying that women who have c-sections are taking the easy way out...just because your baby came out of your parts and mine was cut out of me doesn't make you any better and it for sure doesn't mean I'm taking the easy road.
(About a blogger I've read recently online)
@babyhawkins2015, I think maybe she needs to watch a c-section being preformed and then see if she still feels the same way
@ak16, People talk out the sides of their necks when they have not experienced things that others have...they speak with blinders and believe that their situation should apply to everyone. smh
Wtf. I can't believe someone would say that! I had a vaginal birth with my first and have nothing but respect for women who have c sections. The recovery is much more intense than a vaginal-it's major abdominal surgery!! Geez.
@babyhawkins2015, my daughters cord was on my cheek and every time I got a contraction it was putting her under stress, and my water had been broke for a while and I wasn't getting anywhere, some people just need a reality check on somethings
@brenanner, thank you, i don't understand how some people don't get it's a surgery it's not just something small and after my first, then surgery for an ectopic and 8 months later having another c-section it can get scary at times but since I've done it before that's just what I remind myself I can do this. Anyone can but the recovery is longer and harder, heck I have to take showers for 6 weeks after baby no baths allowed, can't lift anything heavier than baby, and have limited movement I just don't see it being easier
@ak16 - That's straight ignorance if people say that. My daughter almost died of a cord prolapse and ended up having an emergency c section with 2 vbacs after her with my other 2 kids. C-section or vaginal births both take strength and courage so bump everyone who says negative things...sheer ignorance!
I applaud you for having had c sections! I'm terrified I will end up needing one due to the size of my little one. You definitely did not take the easy way out momma!
@floridamommy1024, exactly and some women like myself won't dilate enough to have a vaginal birth so I have to have c-sections this doesn't make me any less than any other mom
oh gosh I think the thought of a c section scares me more than pushing my baby out of my hooha!!
I hate hearing that too. Both labors take a HUGE toll on our body and a csection is worse in a lot of cases. I think the reason that person says that could be because a lot of women do assume "oh it'll be easier if I don't have to push can I just get a csection"? But these are all women that know NOTHING about cesarean and they realize it is in no way easier.
It's longer and you can have way more complications afterward I don't get it either @anim I'm not saying it's awful I've had two so it's easier now but for someone who has never been cut open to say it's easier is just nuts to me
Yes I agree. We all grow the baby the same and recovery from surgery is no walk in the park
