Giving birth via c section?

[hipmummy]

No way! People like this have no idea! Does she know your siuation?
I have had two VBs however I see what my friends who had caesers went through and I think I got off lightly!
You be proud that you got your baby and yourself the help that you needed and are both safe.
I'd be spending less time with this "friend"

i have had a CS and VB and consider them both giving birth. No doubt in my mind.

My VB was absolutely the easy way out in comparison to my CS!

I hope you feel better after reading these responses. I think this thread offers a more informed, real representation of the facts in comparison to your 'friend's' opinion. Truth is, you are one of the people who have experienced both types of birth and are therefore more qualified to hold an opinion on the subject. Still, it does hurt when people are quick to judge with misinformation. All she needed to do was ask you about it rather than tell you her silly opinion.
