I'm so bored of the comments saying she needs to raise awareness that childbirth can be traumatic.. it is the only way media ever portrays it...that and lacking in any biological or medical fact that might actually help give realistic expectations. Obviously things can go wrong but is there any need for that to be the constant focus?
Realise that view is going to be unpopular but it does seem that a lot of people don't understand what is 'normal'. Ashley James described her labour as horrific and being in excruciating pain for hours etc, not being offered pain relief..when it sounded like a pretty standard labour.
Obviously Louise did have a bad experience but there are definitely parts of her story that don't fall in to the medical marvel category she is making it seem.
That's my Sunday rant over.
