I don't understand attention-seeking "campaigns" like this. If you don't want people debating or judging or even misunderstanding what goes on in your life, you don't have to share personal information with them.
Am I the only one who genuinely doesn't care about birth experiences? You had a baby, great. I really don't care to know more. I don't feel compelled to "share my story." Babies are born every day.
I understand where you're coming from, but it's also helpful to keep in mind that in the United States there is a lot of room for improvement in pre- and postnatal healthcare. Yes, babies are born everyday and most mothers have normal recoveries, but not everyone makes it.
More power to you if you don't want to share your own story, but don't dismiss the stories of women who have experienced serious, and often preventable, labor ordeals. We can do better if we have more knowledge (not just about c-sections, but many other issues affecting maternal health).
Then let's worry about Black women dying in childbirth at far greater rates than white women. Let's not rally around FB posts about women acting like they deserve medals for giving birth.

Then put it in Health and have a specific point in your original post. ***We need to be awaaaaareeeee and tell our storrriiiesss*** is, to me, just more attention-seeking in the social media age. -Mom who experienced 2 C-sections
Sorry, I wasn't the original poster. I just read a few comments and was surprised that people are so willfully disinterested in maternal health issues.

People want a medal if they had a natural child birth and they want everyone to know. I've also heard a number of moms tell me to watch the video "The Business of Being Born" because I've been told that doctors push c-sections to drive up cost. Huge damn eye roll. Give birth to your baby in any method SO IT LIVES. End of story.

Lots are elective, but any stats out there?
