This drives me crazy!
I think using any absolutes when it comes to a life is very ignorant. No one knows what they'll encounter when labor comes. To say "I will absolutely go natural", "i will absolutely get an epidural" "I will absolutely breastfeed " "I will not get a cesarean " "I'm having my baby on ____ day because my csection/induction is scheduled" are all very ignorant in my opinion.
There are very few things you are in control of when a child is to come into this world. Just like you can't control what they will become later in life. You can only guide, suggest, and try your best so they can have a successful life. Something as beautiful and miraculous as a child should not be dictated by any human. When people ask me what my plan is, I tell them, I plan to do the best I can to bring this baby safe into this world!
God chose me to be a vessel but I know in my heart, I'm not in charge at all. However someone gives labor is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT! I wish as a society we focused more on the sacrifice mother's make during the 40 weeks of gestation and in the lifetime of sacrifices they make after the child is born.
This bickering between women about how best to give birth or feed a baby during the 1st year is ridiculous and should be IRRELEVANT! Instead we should just be supporting each other and lifting each other up regardless of those choices!
