I really don't understand why I still get upset when people try to make me feel bad because I am having another c-section after having 4 in the past. If my doctors truly felt it was a problem they would tell me and seriously advise me not to have anymore. Some comments I've recently heard/read really bother me. "I feel we have a great chance to accomplish something with a vaginal birth". I accomplish something too a healthy happy baby in this world. "Our bodies were designed to give birth vaginally". Well not all womens bodies are. "Women have been giving birth vaginally for centuries". You don't hear of the women who died during child birth because they were not able to have a vaginal birth and had to be cut open and died after-wards.
Anyways, Osiris is feeling better but still running a fever. Thaddeus is such a cutie and ham. He loves to smile and feel asleep today in his rocker and he looked like a chubby cabbage patch doll, it was sweet. Sabrina is refusing to do her work at school and spent the morning in the principals office. Aja got to see her teacher's week old grandbaby today. she was beautiful. I want another little girl.

A birth is a birth is a birth. Doesn't matter how your babies come out as long as they...well come out! Don't want those little buggers staying in there forever!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't make you any less of a mom...maybe YOU are actually the better one bc you are willing to have your belly cut open again :)
I dreamed of having a vaginal birth also, until i was getting my first ultrasound at 5/6 weeks due to severe pain I was having in my pelvis. Actually thought I was having a miscarriage. The tech could not find my left kidney, so she kept looking with the ultrasound machine. Turns out, my kidney is in my pelvis right next to the birth canal. I'd never had any problems in the past and probably would have never found out about the kidney, but for the ultrasound. I had to be prescribed prescription drugs just to deal with the pain during the first trimester. My doc and specialist agreed that a vaginal birth was too risky since my kidney wasn't going to move over for the baby to be born. Nor did they want to take any risk with a perfectly healthy kidney competing with the stress of a vaginal birth. My choices: labor for 20 hours only to end in c-section or c-section. Needless to say, I had a c-section, a healthy baby, and healed very quickly. What more can a parent ask for? I wish people understood that God made doctors to invent alternative methods to help us. We may not always agree on the alternatives, but when a life is at risk, untraditional methods may become an option. I know because as I lay there praying for God's protection and for God to guide my doctor's hands during the c-section, he blessed us with a 7lb 7oz little girl!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a happy pregnancy.
Don't listen. Having a c-section is just as good for you and the baby and I am always thinking what if I GET a uterine rupture and kill the baby... That is what I am going to tell people when they try to judge me and will tell them that if I go ahead and kill the baby, they have to be prepared to take all the blame, we'll see if they change their mind after that... It is easy to give unwanted advices when you are not involved...
