Completely agree with you, my 1st as expected was hard, but as expected, 2nd was a doddle, 4 hours and no pain relief. So on third I think ooh I’ll have no pain relief and be in and out in no time, oh was I wrong, ok only 7 hour labour, but contractions stopped as baby got stuck, midwives filled the room with two (are they paediatricians? One was already waiting as they knew baby might not be ok) one pushed on my stomach, one dislodged her shoulder, my friend said she’d never seen a baby so brutally delivered, didn’t get to cut cord as they cut and whisked her off, I watched them carry her blue/grey and floppy. That was the easy part, so much damage had been done, I couldn’t walk, 6 months I still couldn’t walk properly, had no bladder control, 7 ops in a year. Who’d have thought it, yes I had 6 months counselling but that’s it, I’ve never really mentioned it or thought about it till now. How many times is she going to bring up her c section, I don’t know what it feels like so can’t compare. But it shouldn’t be needed to compare, get over it, be grateful you have a healthy baby, there’s ppl out there who don’t and that’s the position I’d never want to be in
