I had an emergency c section with my son and it was the hardest thing I've ever been through. A little after Birth a friend of mine gloated about not having the epidural and having her baby naturally, As I told her the horrors of my birth experience and how much pain I was in for weeks. Not just a couple hrs. As her mom kept saying she was stronger cause she did it natural. Please don't compare your natural birth with my painful experience that was not chosen. Ppl are ridiculous.
