I was told this by someone close to me when I decided to have ELCS after having a very traumatic experience first time round which ended up in EMCS. This has really upset me, I can't even describe the feelings going through me. There's no point explaining anything to her as I've tried and the attitude is still the same.
I too wanted the all natural magical experience when I was pregnant with my first but it all went to hell and this time round I just want the baby out as quick and safe as possible, I don't want "the experience" I had it, it was horrible and I don't want it again! Why is it so difficult for some people to understand that? Why do I have to keep justifying my decision over and over again to everyone? It's like going through the birth trauma again when I'm trying to explain it and people just don't get it. I only have few weeks to go and now I'm just upset and feel like I'm being judged, that I'm somehow a terrible human being for having ELCS.
