[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are definitely a lot of people invested in minimizing vaginal birth injuries in women.[/quote]

And by minimizing, I mean pretending they don't happen and shaming those who experience them.[/quote]

Thank you for saying this. I have many from my birth and am constantly stunned by these boards and how many women who dismiss the impact of them, or their incidence. They say things like, “well most women won’t have them” or “just go to PT” or “the majority of women don’t have them,” or “just have surgery.” They act like wanting to have a fulfilling sex life, a functional vagina that can hold in a tampon, a functional urethra and bladder that can not leak urine and empty it fully, a functional rectum that can empty fully and not leak gas or feces and close things off when needed, not wanting to constantly queef from any movement, wanting to be able to run and jump and play with my kids, and pelvic organs that stay in place and don’t droop out of my body and make my whole pelvis and vagina ache and hurt so I can hardly walk or stand at the end of the day are frivolous, selfish things. How dare I counter the narrative of the inherent superiority of vaginal childbirth? How dare I scare any women, lest she be informed about some of the awful conditions that could happen to her as a result of the choices she makes in the delivery room? It’s anti feminist, pure misogyny to silence other women from sharing their real, lived experiences and suffering. [/quote]
