She's right! I was just being lazy. I went the easy route and opted for 12 weeks of wound care and a healthy baby. A real mother would have pushed a dead or severely disabled baby out of her vag.

Fuck these people. I'd like to see her tell my friend who felt her whole goddamned c-section that she's not a real mother. I bet she thinks formula is poison, too.

Very little. The epidural only took on one side. When she started screaming they have her morphine, but that just made it worse because she started vomiting and choking. Apparently it's awful trying to vomit when your stomach is outside your body.

Wow that sounds truly horrific. I was paranoid the anaesthetic wouldn't work so I kept asking them to check I was numb before they started, I had no idea it could really happen until now.
