Just a quick question for those of you who had a forceps delivery - Do you still feel like you delivered/birthed your baby?

Just a few hours after Adrian was born I made a comment to MIL something about birthing Adrian, her reply straight back to me was "Oh you didn`t birth him" this was said with a laugh.

So in her eyes because he was delivered via forecps I didn`t give birth to him but to me I thought I had, her comment really hurt me and wasn`t what I wanted to hear only a few hours after giving birth, her comment has been playing on my mind lately.

So did you birth your baby? Did you receive any comments like I did from friends/family who thought otherwise?
