Language to describe a c-section?

Question

I was diagnosed with Vasa Previa at 20 weeks (reconfirmed at 28 and 32 weeks) so a scheduled c-section was put on the books for me at 34 weeks to save my son's life. I have no qualms about the fact that we had a c-section because it was necessary and the whole procedure was very smooth and comfortable for me, however I also don't feel like I "gave birth" per se. My son was born, but I'm wondering how others describe a c-section birth?

Answer

He was cool and came out the sunroof

Answer

It’s still giving birth your baby came into the world

Answer

I still say that I gave birth, honestly a lot of people assumed I had my son vaginally but unless they make a comment or something I will mention that it was actually an emergency c section. But no matter how they came out, you did birth them

Answer

I've had 2 vaginal births and 1 c section. A vaginal birth to be honest was nothing magical to me in comparison. I definitely feel like I gave birth to all 3 of my kids!  The recovery sucked and I see it that I made a huge sacrifice to keep my baby safe. So I guess I describe it as a tremendous act of love!
