[quote=Anonymous]PP you sound super triggered and you’re not making sense. So somehow women know the best way to give birth? In that case, why have OBs at all? Or midwives for that matter?

For most of history women feared birth. It was the leading cause of death for women and babies and women were desperate to escape the pain of it. It was women who demanded pain relief. It was women who formed the Twilight Sleep association and demanded US doctors give them twilight sleep. And in many countries today women routinely die because they can’t access safe C -sections. Access to safe surgery and medical facilities is a privilege many women in the developing world would do anything for. One women still dies every 11 seconds from birth.

No one is denying your feelings. But you may want to question why you feel so much shame and feelings of failure. Maybe it’s because women are given unrealistic expectations about birth. Maybe birth classes and books and our care providers don’t actually do a good job of preparing us for the reality of it - C section, vaginal, operative, etc. I hope you’ve considered therapy to process your feelings.
