Today I was in line at the checkout in the supermarket. The lady behind me started fussing over Emma, then asked "did you have her naturally?" I said no, I had a caesarian. Her face changed and she said "Oh, so you cheated?" in a really condescending way. I said "I dont think so", then she proceeded to tell me how she had 5 natural births - well whoopty doo!!! I am not her and she doesnt know my reason for having a C/S!! Not only that, but after recovering from a C/S I dont believe that there is any way to 'cheat' and there is no such thing as a pain free birth - the pain just comes later with a C/S.
I know I should just ignore her, but it really mad me upset to think that I was being told I cheated!!! I did what was best for my baby and myself.
