Inanna, and LoriRae

I totally get that there is a need to support all experiences and choices. Anything else and I wouldn't be here. But I also believe that we (as individuals and as an on-line community) cannot shy away from stating our ideals, goals and beliefs for fear of upsetting someone who doesn't share them.
I know that's not exactly what is being said here... but how far away is it? if I'm left feeling like I can't talk about my VBAC or BFing experiences because someone else didn't have them, and may feel left out, or 'not part of the club'? Come on. It's all about the different experiences that we all go through..that's the point...I was just the other day espousing the brilliance of BB to my sister...telling her that with so many members there is always someone who has been there done that..it's invaluable. Doesn't matter whether it's VB or Cs or BF or FF...
I LOVE hearing different experiences & opinions, whether I agree or not. It was a search for information that brought me here, those different opinions & experiences are what makes BB so great for me.
And in my (relatively short) time on BB I have so rarely seen posts which are unsupportive - a bit of squabble here & there but when it comes to 'the big stuff' there is such wonderful support I have never seen anyone criticised for choosing the birth that is right for them, or feeding their child in a way that works for them ...

so back to the OP... I love that there is an article out there giving an account of a CS which is positive, it's another facet of the overall picture to look at. I have heard members say before that they wished they had had a bit more positivity before their birth experience; being that when they ended up in theatre, it was all pretty scary. It's good I think to know that it's not all necessarily bad - that's part of a balanced picture.
