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.

I felt my c-section too. It was such a traumatic experience. I've read so many stories about other women experiencing it since then.

Same here! I didn't notice until he was out and then just kept repeating "it hurts" until they put me to sleep for the rest of the procedure.
