Hi,

I haven't had a caesar, so I can't answer the question exactly but my first was an induced labour and I ended up having an epidural to bring by bp down to bring ds's heart rate down to avoid caesar (te bp and ds heartrate being up were due to the induction but thats another story) anyway I did feel loss for my natural drugfree birth. I just wanted to say really don't take this woman's reaction to your birthplans to heart, while it was quite abrupt and certainly not nice what she said I think for her she sounds like she has very strong emotions attached to her birth experience that she is still dealing with and from her perspective she will be feeling such a loss and probably thinking why would you so easily give up what she so sadly lost. I'm not at all trying to say she was right I'm just trying to say don't take it personally
