Hello all. A family member has just had a baby and the email that was sent by her mother was along the lines of 'she only had gas and air and no stitches - I'm sure all you ladies will appreciate how significant this is' it has also been hailed as 'a real achievement' and new mum said it was because she did all her exercises. I had a baby a couple of months ago and ended up with ventouse delivery and lots of stitches. Feel like I am being told she has done better than me.
Wasn't bothered about my birth before but now feel a bit of a failure.
Would like to say my baby was 2.5lb heavier.
Also worried this is the start of competitiveness re the babies.
