What is needed is understanding that it IS major surgery, that having one does not mean a woman “failed” at the mission of giving birth, and helping eliminate the “too posh to push” stigma.
Did anyone in your actual life quesiton or criticize you or anyone else you know who had C-sections? Honestly asking.
I agree with the first PP here -- I always feel like I have to explain why I had c-sections (I'm the PP who just posted about my stuck breech babies). I agree that I shouldn't have to feel judged about it. I would guess that the majority of c-sections are medically necessary.
Are you aware that you are not obligated to tell people you had a C-section?
And are you aware that the birth experience s very frequently discussed in “mom circles” or families, and that PP shouldn’t have to hide her c section experience.
No, she shouldn't have to hide it. But if you choose to share personal information, yes, sometimes people will judge you. That is a fact of life, and it is not limited to topics related to motherhood.
"I always feel like I have to explain"; "I...feel judged about it." Look at the language. The language doesn't actually answer the question I posed:
Has anyone in your action life questioned or criticized you or anyone else you know who had C-sections? Still honestly asking.

Actually, yes. I had a planned section as DD was a very stubborn breech. People actually asked me if it was just because I didn’t “want” to labour, and if it was really necessary. I had one co worker who was VERY invasive and rude about the whole situation, even though I tried not to discuss it with her (I’m very private at work except with some people, but other people wag their tongues).

I will say, I thought while I was pregnant that a c section would be the end of the world, then I had one and it was no big deal and actually a very positive and happy experience. So I guess I do wish that women weren’t quite so afraid of them. Yes, I know some people are traumatized by their c section, but people also end up traumatized by vaginal births for a variety of reasons.
This was me, I did not know what to do in the case of a c-section. After I had one I everything flew out the window, and I was just thankful my baby was here healthy.

I don't think anyone needs to be made aware of c-sections -- aren't we all already aware that they can happen? I had two planned c-sections due to two stuck breech babies.

I had one emergency C-section, and one planned C-section. I do not need public awareness. I have already told my story to the actual people in my life who needed to know or who I felt like bringing in.

Agreed. I'm aware I had a C-section, because I requested it. Other people are not aware of my C-section, because it's not their business. Let's not make this a "ribbon" issue.
