Let the DIALOGUE Begin!

C-Sections...as common as changing socks (urgh!)

I'm sure that I won't make many friends with this post but this topic has been on my mind for a while and since it seems like no one visits the blog anyway, I'm pretty much free to say what I want...right?

So what's on my mind tonight??? C-Sections. I just don't get 'em. Why do so many women opt to have C-Sections. I mean, even without TRYING to have a natural childbirth they just make the decision to "have the drugs, and get the C-Section". How lazy! I mean really ladies...what would you do if you didn't have the luxury and "easy out" of having a C-Section. Oh...I know...YOU'D ENDURE THE PAIN AND HAVE THE BABY NATURALLY!!! Just the way women have been having babies since the beginning of time. Suck it up and push it out!!!

Now I get that some women HAVE to have a C-Section for medical purposes, but come on now...are there THAT many women who have the medical need? Let me answer that one for ya...NO, there are not!!!

So when I say that I don't get it, I mean just that. I've had 3 babies, and I had all 3 NATURALLY and WITHOUT drugs. I had my babies the same way that Eve had hers.

Yeah, it hurt like heck, but I had a great coach by my side to help me through the pain. And with only the two of us in the room (no doctors, no nurses, not a bunch of other people in the room tellin' us what to do), we got through it and delivered 3 healthy babies as a result. And we must've gotten something right because each delivery was faster than the one before.

So what am I trying to say? I'm saying this: LADIES...give natural childbirth a try before you throw in the towel and decide that your baby isn't worth the pain so you're just gonna take the easy road.

Life is painful. Why should childbirth be any different? Now breath in, breath out...deep cleansing breaths, and have that baby...the natural way!

Let the DIALOGUE begin! Sorry guys, this one's for the ladies...Have you ever had a C-Section, and did you have it because it was medically necessary, or because it was convenient. Be honest.

Talk to me!

Til next time...

  1. i did have to have a c-section for medical reasons... i wanted to go the natural way, but the dr wouldn't let me since jess was running a fever and causing me to have one to, so they had to do take her out. i felt robbed as a woman not experiencing it the way a woman should... on top of it, c-section got infected and they had to open it up and let it heal naturally... it was awful. i was in the hospital for a week the day after christmas with a new born! =/ regardless, though... God gave me a miracle, and her name is Jessica Ryann Nicholas! :)

  2. Now for THAT reason, I can understand. But for some women they pretty much decide from the moment they find out that they're pregnant that they're gonna have a C-Section. I just don't understand. Don't they even want to try??? I don't have many accomplishments in life (at least not yet anyway), but I'm so glad that I was able to go the "natural" route and PUSH those babies into the world. And yes...you truly have a miracle and a beautiful blessing in that lovely daughter of yours :-)
