CEASER VS NATURAL BIRTH

Absolutely Angie. Far too much time is wasted arguing about this when there are so many other things to worry about.

I always see childbirth as like a wedding. The wedding is important but the marriage is what you should be concentrating on. In other words focus on your baby.

I guess it is the most important thing you will do in your life. The birth that is so yes that day was the most important for me. Ya ya I know being a mom is too ,but I get to do that daily.

Your birth story is just that. I remember my mom telling me her birth stories and how special they were.

Be proud of your birth regardless of how it was achieved. Mine was a dark comedy, but it led me to where I am now and has given me the most amazing opportunity which I will embark on soon.



And most importantly lets not forget the mom who posted this thread. She needs your support and help.

Heheheehe yeah, the topic of natural vs c-sect always tend to get a bit heated teh further you go. Same as teh topic of pro-life vs pro-choice blahblahblah. AGAIN, I do not expect a pat on the back for my choices, but I also expect not be treated differently.

Maybe we should all try to just answer Hope's questions so she can make a decision on what will be best for her instead of having a go at each other and dishing out trophies?

"I really don't understand why people get so defensive about this topic" Ditto Kirsten!

I must say this has really become a heavy discussion, which I think has also been thrown a bit way over board!
I also had a c-section, and I am proud of it, and it was a amazing and beautiful experience! I have an amazing bond with my LB and he is a healthy boy!
I really don't know why, when people see you have a baby they have to ask you, Oh did you give natural birth or did you have a c-sec???? WTF - does it really matter!

Is it not about the babies! Shouldn't we all be happy and feel blessed because our babies are healthy and thriving???????? - AND NOT WORRY HOW THEY CAME INTO THIS WORLD?????? (Just my 2cents)!

Morning ladies!

Goodness gracious me! Why all the sensitive and unneccessary "bitchiness" here! Eish....

I am a first time mom to be and this topic is the biggest one I am struggling with.

Funny enough, my gynae is pro natural for a change!!

But I still have not made up my mind in regards to going natural with epidural (I am not going without pain meds thank you) or c-sec.

Most of my friends had c-secs by choice and so far I am leaning towards going natural with epidural, but I feel that this specific blog shows that sometimes you are judged if you do a csec for convenience sake. And I find that a bit sad and harsh. But that is just my 2c worth.

This topic should be an informative one and not a emotional personal flinging of ideas ladies as for 1st time mosm to be I am looking for information that will help me make a good choice!

Toodels

Sounds like Aribeth wants a trophy because she gave birth naturally.... Well there you go!
