Why does it feel wrong for me to say I gave birth because I had a c section. I know it's idiodic but…

You did give birth

All very true, I wish I could have had him natural though. I honestly feel robbed of certain moments I should have been able to have. I wish I would have gone into labor and not had an appointment to go in to have him. I hope next time I can have a natural birth. I pray and pray.

It is giving birth. I don't care if you sneezed the baby out

@beebaby haha that one made me laugh :)

I'm serious though, I fear being cut open like that so i give it to the people who need it. I cried when they told me i needed too and I told them nope. He can stay

I had a C-section and I didn't realize it until now till I read your post that when I've talked about my c-section I never referred to it as giving birth. Though I do believe I did.

@mommiesaremagical14 I feel the same way, I've honestly never said "when I gave birth" or anything like that and it's silky of course we gave birth! And went through hell afterwards! I didn't get to see my child for two days after I had him because nothing they gave me for pain worked evidently some medicine I'm on had a reaction with the pain meds and caused them to not work, I don't know how but that's the only thing that makes sense. They say you forget the pain, NOPE, you just justify it. I'd do it all over to have my LO but I will never forget it.

@beebaby I honestly thought about jumping off the table as they were wheeling me in to the OR and saying see ya, I'll let you guys know when he comes out !

Right

My favorite is when people try to say that a C-section baby isn't going to be as healthy as a vaginally delivered baby in the future. I was a C-section baby myself I'm 33 years old I have absolutely no health issues whatsoever except for a couple allergies to medication and I've only been sick 3 times my entire life and it was never anything that severe and none even lasted longer than 3 days. I have the immune system of a goddess!!!

@eashleystrain Exactly I feel like I didn't get that. I didn't get to see him and have them put him on my chest, he had fluid in his lungs so they had to start working on him immediately. Then the next two days I was in such pain I couldn't even see him. It was just awful. But I always tell myself I have him for the rest of my life now :)

Don't ever feel wrong about saying you gave birth mama! Say it with pride.

I had a c section and it was so hard! Yes! We gave birth. Same thing! Don't be so hard on yourself😘

:) You are all awesome, so glad I have people to talk to
