It's a great article.
I don't think it's a question of whether they are great or not, or wearing a substandard medal.... for some the experience can be viewed as lifesaving, necessary & viewed with gratitude for the outcome. For others there is disappointment and sadness, especially if it is felt that the CS was the result of unnecessary interventions.I haven't been hearing how great Caesarians are on this site Starrrsky, I get more of an impression that if you can avoid them you do. I don't hear anyone singing their praises and that worries me as much as your apparent negative experience.
I can't think of what to say to your comments to have anything sort of positive for you.
My highlighting this article was for those who have to wear their experience as some sort of substandard medal because of the overwhelming view of others from various standpoints. That they don't have to have their birth "graded" because of what they didn't experience.
If I had been in the position of the woman writing this article I would quite possible have chosen a repeat CS rather than a VBAC also.
A choice to VBAC and a choice to CS are both individual decisions based on so many different factors...who is to say what is valid for another woman / couple/
I think it is very sad that anyone would feel like they would have their birth 'graded' because of the birth experience they had.
