In praise of the C-Section

[maz]

Im pretty sure that at the time when I had Miss Diva that I posted how great of a c/s I had had. It was the best one I had had to be honest. No pain...no stress....perfect!!!!

take c/s number 4....my baby almost died...I wasnt very far of it myself....and my c/s as a disaster.

but then vaginal birth's can end up being the exact opposite of what people expect. Just take recently a BB member who went and had a VBA2C's and was in shock about how she reacted during her vaginal birth. Another member went through 3 days of labour to end up having to have a c/s any way. BOTH girls recieved support, comfort and nothing negetive was said towards them.

I find it highly ammusing that one says they wont debrief at all before the fact. Wait until the moment has happened and see were your emotion's take you then. Its like all those who say their children will never watch tv and end up buying the latest movies 3 years down the track for them.

I also find one who HAS NOT had the experience, good or bad, should be able to comment either way on c/s'. All the studies and writing's cannot compete with actually having the experience of one.

It is a very touchy subject, one that has to be handled with kind gloves....both sides. Its not something to shove off, blame peoples emotional state....child birth is a spirtial developement in someone so there for people will be emotional about it.
