Everyone is different. For my first I was strapped to a bed in a rundown hospital in an Italian village, unable to get off my back and hips for 20 hours, not allowed any liquid so was severely dehydrated, didn’t speak the language, was refused all pain assistance, and was forced to keep silent as other patients were sleeping. Then I was wheeled in for an emergency c-section where the anesthetic wore of halfway through. Pretty traumatic and probably a “worse” experience than many others but I wouldn’t dare try to tell someone else how they should feel about their own experience. It’s all relative to us as individuals.Was it because it reminded her of her terrible birth experience? I’ve heard her talk about it but it was nothing compared to my birth experience! Yet mine never made me nervous to go back into hospitals even maternity wards.
