Hi Dee
You did give birth to your baby. You was the only pregnant woman to walk in that room and come out no longer pergnant. If you did not give birth then what happened?
Dont let your MIL's comments worry you. You have just done something wonderful. You have just presented the world with a new human being, And who knowes your child could one day find a cure for cancer ore even unite the world in peace.
Here here!

What a ridiculous thing to say to you!
I had a ventouse delivery but after 20 hours of labour if anyone had the nerve to try to tell me I didn't "birth her" I'd probably slap them.
How rude!
