[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I did find labor humiliating. I didn't like being so exposed, I resented the people coming and going, I felt judged. I do think actually giving birth is amazing and empowering, but my actual, individual experience felt humiliating and incredibly vulnerable in a not safe way. Just throwing this out there in case anyone else felt that way too. It's good to hear all these empowered stories of not caring, pushing past it, etc. But I didn't. I'm a reserved person, I carry a lot of shame from abuse and neglect in my childhood, I didn't have very supportive people around me, and I didn't like it. I wish it had been different.[/quote]
