With or without the best of intentions are you trying to start a fight?

And the point of this question is...????
That's taken the piss, would you ask to someone's face "Do you think you have given birth properly by having a c section"...someone who wanted badly a natural birth but ended up having a c section because of the baby being distressed ???

Your question is stupid

I have reported this as it serves no purpose and is only going to cause upset to those who have had sections and desperately wanted a vaginal delivery.

Ignore her and she may go away.

You can always safely assume that anyone who prefaces their post with "with the best intentions and no disrespect" is thinking something with NO good intentions and much disrespect, otherwise they wouldn't feel they have to say that.

That's why I won't answer the question.

Had 2 "real" births and one caesarian.

Felt just as real to me

Hello. Nice to meet you. I 'gave birth' by E c-section. So, um, no I'm not a 'proper' mother. The 28 hours I spent in labour were just for fun.

I suppose you think that forceps and ventouse and not being able to breast feed would mean I hadn't done it properly too

Report
DoctorFrankenSquonk · 05/10/2007 12:52

oh hang on, if forceps and ventouse aren't "real" either, then I've only done it properly once

On the other hand, if you are asking this because you had a CS and are feeling like you didn't do it 'properly' then I think you'll find that most women go through that. Being a mother day-to-day soon makes you realise that you did give birth, even if it was in a different way to most other mothers. You did all the hard work, the surgeons helped you out at the end.
