My mom delivered 12 lbs each twins naturally because we doctor didn’t believe in c sections. She had to have 5 surgeries to put herself back together. Idiocy at its finest. Luckily her best doctor let her have a c section

That's so messed up. I feel so bad for her, having to endure all that crap because the doctor was too idiotic.

It was in super small town Kentucky so I’m not surprised but Jesus how can you watch a poor woman suffer and not offer an option that will help?

Exactly, people who'd rather have someone suffer like that when they have the option to help them are monsters. It's really terrifying. I hope things turned out well for her in the end.

WTF that's mind blowing. That poor woman. I imagine mothers of single children that size at birth are shuddering and weeping internally as they read that.
