Why are elective csections shamed?

[Escargot82]

I'm struggling with the attitudes that so many women openly display towards other women who have had or want to have an elective csection? For argument's sake lets talk about private csecs, not under NHS. Women get so angry and passionate about their disdain.

What I hate is that it's completely acceptable to shame a woman for wanting an elective csection, but it's not acceptable to shame a woman who wants to formula feed (by choice entirely not necessity).

There is an attitude towards formula feeding among MN women of "it's your body, your choice" but when it comes to birthing methods, csection is a no no.

If you feel this way, why??? Why one set of standards about what women can do with their bodies and another for other things?

Lol, in a little glittery vomit bowl

Had my two in States, both elective c sections. My first was breech and was delivered two weeks early, my second was a repeat c section. The medical group I was with do not attempt to deliver breech vaginally and they do not attempt vbac either. (Most probably for insurance reasons).I feel that both sections were the best choice. I did get a bit judged, especially by those who'd had easy natural births, but people make the mistake of politicizing birth choices. It's foolish nonsense, and I resented people second guessing my decision. You just have to rise above OP.

I've had both.

I'm most proud of my ELCS.
