@erilynbmore Lol so the funny thing is it was at a dermatologist's office, like why are you even commenting on my births my dude you are supposed to be asking me about my skin 🤦♀️
@evenios I'm in the PPD club too, isn't it fun? And yes you're correct, it almost always is the only way. I'm sure some women choose to schedule a C-section for their first birth, but I feel like that's pretty rare. It's usually a complication - in my case with my oldest he was frank breech and...
@katrina2017 Omg you went through so much! I'm so sorry you had such a traumatic experience, both mine were pretty "routine" so I could not imagine having complications plus friggen COVID on top of everything else, that sounds like a nightmare.
@trinity47 And you're awake during the whole thing! It's the most bizarre feeling, you can't really feel anything other than pressure and you can't see anything but you know they're down there just slicing away lol
@frankyb Ugh yes I cannot with women who say having a c-section means you didn't give birth. Like, we're all suffering here no matter how these kids came out, it's not a competition lol
@katrina2017 I honestly thought about saying something but he did seem a little embarrassed after I said it wasn't easier so I'm hoping he learned a lesson. Hopefully before he chooses to have children lol
@lasaruse But didn't you know birth is hardest for the man? They have to do so much work while their partners recover AND they have to sleep on the uncomfortable hospital couch. We should have more sympathy for them.
@tempy1 I really should have but I was just so blown away by his ignorance lol. I'm sorry your births were traumatic, I can't imagine how much fear you felt 💜
@mrsgrass And then cut it open again a few years later! And expect him to bounce back immediately instead of taking time to recover properly. F these men honestly
@bitcoin I pushed so hard for a VBAC with my second because I was horrified at the thought of having to go through a C-section again. I broke down completely in my doctor's office when he told me that a VBAC wasn't going to happen, I was devastated. Honestly the thought of a third C-section is...
@nivin I don't think it was a joke bc he seemed pretty sure of himself, but yea if it was it was def not funny. I can take a joke but like, I had my guts ripped out twice and I couldn't cough or laugh for a month without horrible pain and I still cannot feel the areas around my scars lol. Not...
@bee_brian You're so right, it was so silly of me to question his mansplaining of the process of birth and its effects on the mother! What was I even thinking
Went to the doctor today and the medical assistant was doing a history, and he asked about prior surgeries. I reported 2 c-sections, at which point he said "much easier than giving birth, huh?"? At first I didn't even register what he said, I thought I misunderstood so I said what's easier? And...
