[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe some of you scheduled cs because you couldn't have an epidural. Or that your OB went along with that awful decision. WOW. [/quote]

Shut it.[/quote]

Why? You're part of the problem, just because you can't be bothered to take a labor class and deal with a bit of pain. [/quote]

I'm not one of the people who had a section because I couldn't have an epidural. I just think you're simple, and you should shut the fuck up. Frankly, people like you are the problem. You can't comprehend that someone else's choices for themselves are none of your business.[/quote]

I couldn't have an epidural and decided to go for an unmedicated vaginal birth. It was a lot more than a "bit of pain." My baby was malpositioned and I needed pitocin (w/o pain relief) and endured a 27 hour labor that almost ended in a section under G/A. It was complete and utter hell and I thought I was going to die, but it was my choice. Just as those in similar situations (like the pp directly above) chose to have a section. I 100% support someone in the similar situation choosing another path and I think it's absurd to judge someone for choosing whatever birth method best suits them. I am completely terrified to potentially go through another labor like I had with my first. We all make the best choices we can when dealing with an unknown situation that can go many different directions and is almost completely out of our control. Let's try to be a little kinder to one another and show some respect for the process that has brought each of us to our final decisions, which oftentimes aren't made lightly. [/quote]

As a pitocin wimp (six hours in, I was pondering an epidural and jumped at the chance when they offered), may I say "ow" for you? Because OW. Can you never have an epidural? Would you always need pit? I think I could have managed unmedicated without the pit. But to your overall statement, ITA. I didn't like my c-section, but for the most part, women aren't morons and you're right, we aren't just choosing willy-nilly. [/quote]
