Thanks Anney!! While I hated my experience I do think it has made me a more educated person though. Hard to explain, but before I had ds I never questioned anything, just went along with what everyone said and that was that.
But now I research every decision that I make, and get lots of opinions before deciding anything, especially when it comes to things to do with my ds, the one waiting to be born, and myself. So in a way they kind of did me a favour because I will never let anyone take advantage of me again.
And I take full responsibility for all my decisions, and don't leave decisions concerning my health and my bub up to others.
And I certainly don't think anyone is a failure for choosing a c/s! I am jealous of people that are so happy with their birth and c/s, and care providers etc! I wish I could be. But i'm not. And obviously there alot of women that aren't. That is the issue here. We are not bagging or judging or criticising anyone who has a c/s for whatever reason. Choice is what birth is about, and some of us are not given choices. If you choose to agree/believe/do whatever your care provider wants then that is your choice, but if you choice not to then they make things really really hard for you and that is just wrong.
