I had to have emergency sections with both my children. They wanted to keep me/us in for 3 days, I discharged myself after 2 days with my first (11 years ago) and 18 hours after my second (7 years ago) I’d rather recover in my own bed. First time I got decent pain and a midwife every day with blood thinning injections. Second time not even a paracetamol and had to inject myself #Torycuts
I can imagine Grinch staying in as long as possible, she’s one of those that acts like pregnancy is an illness.
Pregnancy isn’t an illness but then again it isn’t the same for every woman
For every woman who feels great and blooming and works till they are 39 weeks there are some for whom it’s a struggle, they are not blooming they are exhausted, nervous and guilt ridden for not ‘just getting on with it’
And labour and delivery again for some it’s straightforward and for others it’s not, whether it’s a difficult vaginal delivery or a c- section planned or otherwise it doesn’t always go to plan
I’ve had 1 forceps delivery and 3 c-sections of which one was an emergency and it was hard going
I will defend any woman, grinch or otherwise with regards to pregnancy and labour because that’s their experience and we don’t need other women minimising our experiences just because theirs was okay
