[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A wealthy SAHM friend once said to me "Could you take the summer off one year? I would just love you to experience that with your kids. You know- just be a regular mom." We are in no financial position to do that and it made me feel terrible.

Same friend also said "It makes me so sad for you that you had to have 2 c-sections. Birth was such a defining experience for me. I hate that you were robbed of that. I can't imagine."[/b]

Lol what a b. I feel bad for anyone who considers giving birth to be a defining life moment. The birthing process is such a tiny part of motherhood. [/quote]
to the C-section PP, I'm sure you didn't mind the lack of pelvic floor damage!!! Your friend is such a jerk. I had a vaginal delivery and came out mostly unscathed but if I could do it again, I'd do scheduled C.[/quote]

Np but this has always been my go to when people are sad about my c-sections “oh well, I am still nice and tight down below, no stretching or painful tears, and I don’t laugh when I pee!”[/quote]

Fellow c section mom here and I always think this smugly to myself whenever someone says something snarky about c section. I never even dilated all the way or did any pushing. No peeing when I sneeze and I had to throw away the menstrual cup sized for women who have given birth because it was too big. But go off about your vaginal birth![/quote]

NP. I had three c-sections. First one wasn’t planned and I never dilated or got to push either. I don’t think about it often but when I do I still feel like I missed out. Agree it’s rude for others to comment though. [/quote]

It’s so interesting to me how different peoples experiences are. I don’t admit this except anonymously but I’m actually relieved I didn’t have to push a baby out. Like I was all set to do it and ended up with an emergency c section which was a terrifying experience but I am a small woman and had a 10 pound baby. I have read about terrible birth injuries here so I just feel relieved that my baby was fine and I didn’t die and I wasn’t horribly maimed.  [/quote]

I pushed for THREE HOURS with my first. About 3/4 of the way through, I actually closed my legs and told the doctor “you’re gonna have to cut this baby out!”  She said no, we’re so close, keep going. It was effing AWFUL. Nothing mystical, beautiful, or defining about it. When the baby finally came out I was so glad they had to whisk her to the NICU (she wasn’t breathing right, ended up fine) because I literally didn’t care that she was here, I was exhausted and in pain and just wanted to sleep. A c section would have been soooo much better for me. [/quote]
