[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP you do realize that many women with vaginal deliveries (even normal uncomplicated ones) also experience birth trauma, right? You seem to assume that trauma can’t be experienced by women who deliver vaginally, and that is just not the case. [/quote]

Yes, of course I understand that. And they likely have their own, attendant demons to contend with. I'm not saying C-section trauma is any worse.

What I AM saying is that no one should dismiss, discount or wave away the very real feelings of loss, missing out, failing, etc., that many women who have had C-section trauma experience.

Do you see me discounting anyone's birth experience or trauma? No. But we absolutely have seen people dismissing, minimizing and waving away very real feelings of loss from those who have had C-sections. We've even seen people guilting and shaming women for having those very natural, normal feelings?

How about listening?[/quote]

I am listening. And the PP is also pointing out that the natural birth and VBAC community contribute to those feelings and promote the idea that there is one best way to give birth, when very little people ultimately have that experience. [/quote]
