So I had to have an emergency C-section because my babies heart couldn’t tolerate the contractions. I was perfectly fine with a C-section, until my friends and even some relatives started kind of shaming me for having one. Some of them say that I was lucky to go the “easy” route of not having to push the baby out and some of them say they feel sorry for me. Like, what??? I never knew that a c-section is “bad” until people started making me feel like less of a mother for having one. And that is taking into consideration the fact that I suffered through HORRIBLE spinal headaches afterwards and had to get a blood patch done...and now am stuck with the incision pain that I have to overcome. I feel proud for being strong while going through all of this with my head up. Why do others really think it is easier to have a c-section?? Why do so many people make me feel ashamed of having one? Even though I didn’t have a choice.
