I said that to my friends, the reality was I was a sexual assault victim as a child and had psychological issues that meant I couldn’t cope with regular intrusive vaginal examinations during a stressful time. This is the case for thousands of women and they don’t owe any one an explanation for that.Wow I am getting some hate for this but my own friends who have had elective c sections have literally told me the reasons why (don’t want to ruin their vag being the number 1!!!).
I personally don’t agree with it and agree it’s massively misogynistic, but am guessing megan will be of a similar mindset.
Subsequently I have gone onto have VBAC with the help of extensive therapy but the thought of people judging me due to the way I birthed my baby makes me feel ill.
When a patient makes a choice that is available to them (about any procedure), with full knowledge and input from their medical team it is the business of no one else but them and their medical team.
The way a woman chooses to give birth is a bloody vile thing to judge them on.
This is an interesting read
