[quote=Anonymous]I think people talk about medicated vs unmedicated a lot when you are pregnant or shortly after birth. It is a pretty normal/expected topic of conversation that many of you anxious ladies consider a huge invasion of privacy, just like when people ask if you’re breastfeeding or planning to send your kid to daycare or whatever. It is a socially expected line of conversation. Most of the times I have shared info about the births of my children, it’s been because someone asked - not because I felt like bragging about either experience. It’s normal for people who are getting ready to or just gave birth to be thinking about it, asking questions, sharing. Sometimes that is a good moment of connection. Often as demonstrated by this thread, it becomes another opportunity to make yourself feel superior by cutting another woman down. Great job, OP. You’ve made everyone feel great about their birthing choices. [/quote]
