I have no desire either, to belittle/mock/dis those who have had c-sections. I just think it's sad that there are women who are so terrified of labour that they will choose major surgery instead, when they have never experienced it themselves. I'm not talking about those who have lost babies in labour, or whatever - that's a fine reason in my mind for opting for a c-section. I mean those who are going on hearsay, or have no knowledge at all.
I saw my mother go through c-sections, (I have 7 younger siblings) and knew how much she dreaded it, and how long it took to recover afterwards, and then I see what my sisters and I go through when we have our babies naturally. There is no comparison. A vaginal delivery is so much easier on your body. And, with a few kegels, everything is back where it should be.
