:flower: I come bearing gifts & waving a white flag... As I have never had a C/section... So can only speak from reading on here & discussions with my friends whom have had C/s...

From what I can read & hear when talking to my friends & on here & other various birth websites, it is the judgement on oneself... Noone is passing judgement on anyone or anyway that babies are birthed... The outcome in the end is the same & as long as the baby/ies & Mother are safe that's all that matters!

But in speaking to friends whom have had emergency C/s's... They seem to be really down about their own birthing experience, sure it wasnt what they had gone to the hospital hoping to have, but they still came home with a Wonderfully beautiful new life/lives in their arms... Isnt that what matters, I think anyone whom had any birthing experience in which they werent happy with should try to work toward having a positive birthing experience if they choose to have another child. People can & have had horrendous experiences with no/limited intervention, I have an aunty that had elective C/S's because she had a phobia of birthing vaginally & being incontinent for the rest of her life... She is hugely impressed with both her C/s experiences...

So I think everyone should take a DEEEEEEP breath..... Release their own demons & be happy they have more info for any consecutive pregnancies thay have & accept the way in future children are birthed...
I seriously would love it if a stork had dropped mine off, imagine no gentle, gentle fairy steps to the toilet for the first time!!! Aaaah, now that'd be bliss!!!!
