Maybe more of us need to post our positive c-section experiences so that there is a balanced range of experiences for new mothers to read. It doesn't really feel like they would be welcome here as it goes against the grain, but perhaps there is a need anyway.
This might be how you feel but that is not how it is. I've not received one complaint or joke or snigger at any member posting their caesarean birth stories which made them feel good. Us mods don't sit and have a ***** reading members caesarean birth stories in that forum, nor do we pick apart anyone's story. Seriously, if you had a great birth then the whole mod team are happy for you! It doesn't effect us, it's not our birth. But we all hope that you have a great one.

There is no grain that says women cannot post positive birth experiences no matter what form they come in. Someone's experience is just that, but we reserve the right to post when someone posts something that is not factually correct - i.e. the fallacy that having a c/s will preserve your pelvic floor - because we know from fact that its the weight of pregnancy that actually effects the pelvic floor, not vaginal birth in itself.

Afterall, some women are always going to have to face c-sections and it would be nice for them to know that it's not always horrid for everyone.
We know that also. I know a birth attendant I trained with who had a slow to progress footling breech which transferred to hospital and eventually decided on a c/s as there wasn't enough pressure on the cervix to get that labour going. As she was being wheeled into theatre, a foot popped out her vagina. I saw the photos, it was amazing... they put an epidural in for the c/s and the baby crashed badly and was in NICU after a fair bit of resus, it was very touch and go, but both were fine. After all that? She said she was grateful for the experience because she saw that c/s are not the end of the world as she thought it to be, it was very healing especially for someone who works in that field - it's all about your own thoughts and beliefs - she could have chosen to look at the birth another way. I'm not saying you can't grieve - I am sure she was in some degree of shock for a while there. But when thoughts dominate or take over what is reality, then it can be a problem.

So I do know of these examples, its one of many, I listened to her story intently and loved the pictures. I've seen other pictures and stories of maternal assisted c/s too. I have nothing against people sharing birth stories, and there is even a c/s birth story section on the main site. I invite any of you to share yours, I have no bias in publishing it on the main site and of course you can post it in the birth story forum as well.
