I have four kids. All by c section.
All elective c section
No medical or body reasons
Just a fear of pain and anxiety about the birth process

ANSWER

One forceps and one natural and no time for drugs. Anyone who gives birth, regardless of how, is a fucking superhero! A woman who has a c section still experiences pain, planned or not.
We are are strong, we go into it knowing it's going to be painful, but we don't care, we are incredibly brave. Every single man should brag about the mother of their child in respect to birthing, how ever it happened.

I’m sure the men who see their children born via c section say the same thing too. All childbirth is amazing.

So what? Doing it drug free doesn’t make her any more amazing than the person who had all the drugs. I went t drug free too but not because I am against it or think I’m superior but because I was terrified of the epidural. Not one person, including my husband said I was amazing for not having drugs. I would have had a big problem with anyone who said that.

There’s gas

Gas does nothing in the final stages of labour

The gas is fucking useless. I legit though mine was broken. The midwife admitted to me it does nothing but it's meant to help with your breathing - it didn't so i spat that useless thing out of my mouth & got on with the job.

. Basically childbirth and pregnancy is an amazing experience and one which no matter which way you give birth, should be celebrated. A child born healthy and a mother who is healthy afterwards is something to talk about. having a child is a blessing.

You don't give birth unless it comes out of the birth canal - your vagina. Do having a caesarian isn't giving birth, it's having the baby removed.

So if you were born via c section, is your birthday called c section day? What do you say when someone asks your date of birth?

What a load of codswallop. Of course you can give birth if your baby is born via c section.

You dont go thru the same experience. You don't earn it

I’ve never had a c section but what exactly do you ‘earn’’ that is exclusive to a natural birth? You get a baby same as a vaginal birth, no? Isn’t that the end goal? It seems to me, a C section being major abdominal surgery, is not a easy way out as you are implying. I was absolutely terrified I’d have to have one. I have respect for all women who give birth, no matter how that may be.

Iv had 4 births.
1 c section
1 with drugs
1 natural at home
And twins natural.

I am most proud of myself for my twins.
I kept a calm mindset and don’t allow pain to take over my mind and remained in control the entire time.
I’m proud of all my body has done but I really was chuffed at myself for the twins ....as too I am proud I fed them till 2. Even though I fed all my others bar 1 till two. I’m particularly proud I nursed the twins that long, I really did have to commit to that. Just as I had to commit to their birth more than the others

Let the husband be proud of a natural birth, you literally have no idea what it took for that women to have that birth.

My home birth was incident in every way, so I had no choice but to naturally birth.
I chose the twins and I chose my state of mind and that was really , I don’t know the word, I’m proud of myself. I accomplished a major thing I set out to do.

My husband was extremely proud of my and gushed over me on all our births.

I had no drugs. And I'm super proud. Proud that I gave birth to a health baby with or without drugs. And the no drugs was only because she came too fast I had no time 😂😂😂 I had all the drugs with #2 haha

No its not, it's still being proud of getting through childbirth

ANSWER

People being proud about the way they did something doesn't take anything away from other people who do it differently. I've had 2 natural births- do I think I'm better than women who used drugs? Hell no. Is my husband proud of me? Yep. Would he be proud of me if I used drugs? Yep.

Why shouldn’t men speak up when they feel proud of their woman and what she’s achieved? I consider those women lucky to have such awesome, encouraging and supportive partners.

ANSWER

Because it is something to be proud of, why should women who go through all the pain labour with out drugs, gas etc be proud of that achievement? I am damn proud I had nothing, and no support during labour and did it! I was alone for 90% of my labour because partner was on the other side of town and midwife didn't believe I was in labour so told me to stay home.

I had drugs and I'm proud because at the end of it, I had a beautiful healthy baby to hold 💞

ANSWER

I gave birth to 1 child with drugs and one without. Do I feel more proud of the natural birth than the drug induced one? No. Both my babies were born beautiful and healthy and I am proud of all my efforts. Should a woman choose to use drugs or not is her choice and it makes her no more or no less than a superhero. There is no need to judge others for their choices. You don't know know what their reason are 💕

Seeing how much pain your wife can survive - and then produce a human being - would make any husband rave about her, regardless of whether she had help or not. My husband thought I was going to die and the nurses had to remove him to another room. He now believes that I must be unbreakable 😅
