Is what I said stupid?

Unfortunately these women sound very ignorant, uneducated and unempowered about the whole birth process and just what the female body is capable of. Labour certainly is productive pain, but the silly thing is, the painful part is the contractions (especially toward the end), not the actual delivery of the baby from the birth canal - that is nothing compared to the contractions - at least for me and other women I've spoken to!!
All this fear about a baby coming out of your vagina is ludicrous. Just turn on the discovery channel and you will see every mammal doing it - its natures way.
I would send them each a copy of Henci Goers Book - The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth. They are probably completely unaware of the risks of a c-section - and how it can increase the chances of miscarriage and uterine rupture in a subsequent pregnancy, not to mention higher rates of PND due to the absence of endorphins, and feeding problems in the baby due to the antibiotic residue in breastmilk (necessary to prevent infection after c-section).
Oh - and another thing - all that stuff about having a big baby is another bulldust way to frighten women into a c-section. A 6 pound baby will often have the same head circumference as a 9 pound baby - a couple of pounds of meat on the arms & legs is not going to make an ounce of difference once the head has been birthed. The baby will look a little healthier, is all!!
