I was doing a party the other night, and these 2 women were chatting about birth. One has just had a baby, the other is about 25 weeks along. #1 said that bub was 8 pounds, so she was 'glad the doc cut her outta me' - #2 says she's told her OB she wants a caesar if bub looks bigger than 7 pound.

Obviously I didn't say anything at the time, but I mentioned it to my mum and sister last night, and said how I couldn't understand what they were saying. My sister goes 'I can understand it, labour HURTS you know!', and I said that yes, obviously it its painful, but it's a PRODUCTIVE pain. And they both cracked up laughing and made me promise not to say anything until I'd actually had a baby.

I know I don't have any experience, but did I come off as a twat?! I don't generally say anything, but they ALL sounded like birth pain should be avoided at all cost, and I don't agree with that!
