A little vent, but open audience doesn't always get it. I love my Mum, we get along pretty well and always have. But, her stories of birth and women's issues just make me cringe. It is like she thinks the female body is revolting and so flawed and we are so lucky that interventions are available. A cousin recently had a baby, 'got so torn up' cos 'she is so tiny' 'should have had a c section' 'had the biggest placenta they had ever seen' blah blah blah. it's the conclusions i get annoyed at, so much that i discount most of what she says and i don't like doing that.

My mum is really onboard with the natural birth thing so I'm lucky that we're on the same page with that, but definitely some of my friends and workmates are the opposite and I find that really difficult to be around sometimes :S
