There's nothing easy about them at all, it's major surgery for crying out loud.

I had c-sections with both my girls, the first was an emergency c-section due to pre-eclampsia, and DD1 being in distress after 20 hours and I found it incredibly traumatic, suffered PND and PTSD due to it. The second I found to be slightly less traumatic but the guilt was horrible.

I've never had someone tell me I took the easy way out, I'd have no issue with explaining them the reasons why it's not easy.

don't let what anyone says interfere with how you come to terms with the way you gave birth, yes, I call it giving birth, the result was a beautiful baby girl.
