God forbid...It's true the judge-y stuff never ends. God forbid you are unable to breastfeed - it's even worse than electing an epidural. <BR/><BR/>My twins were born via c-section at 36w3d. My son spent 12 days in the NICU. My daughter went straight to the boob, but not until after I practically bled out in recovery and spent a whopping 9 hours trying to be stabilized. <BR/><BR/>My children are my life. I love them and they love me. We are bonded in a way that nobody else can judge or explain. And screw anyone who tries to tell me otherwise.<BR/><BR/>You have to do what is right for you, and your baby -- based on the doctors, your instincts and the situation AS IT HAPPENS. Nobody can tell you now what you might have to do when the baby comes. <BR/><BR/>Congratulations on 15 weeks, and a happy, healthy, uneventful 25 more....Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176738174492108443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962997019010711624.post-86525929622391472702007-12-11T11:24:00.000-08:002007-12-11T11:24:00.000-08:00Watching someone in labour must be pretty awful, a...Watching someone in labour must be pretty awful, at least when you're actually doing it, a huge hormone rush overcomes you!Drowned Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07930956007436787200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962997019010711624.post-69552700938592644042007-12-10T20:52:00.000-08:002007-12-10T20:52:00.000-08:00Ah, don't get me started.

You've got all these books on the one hand and then the folks at the hospital who didn't want to work with me when I finally ended up there because I was a lesbian freak who had tried to give birth at home for 4 days before coming into the hospital. Just do it your way, ladies (whatever that ends up being at the time). It's the only "right" way and to hell with everyone else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-962997019010711624.post-54176933994162209392007-12-10T20:42:00.000-08:002007-12-10T20:42:00.000-08:00You're completely right about the judge-y stuff.

Almost ALL of the parenting books I've bought (which makes a pathetically small stack) are like that, and the drive-bys from strangers (and family members!) are ever-so much fun!<BR/><BR/>I don't get that stuff. Why people get all hatin' on other people? <BR/><BR/>(Her belly looks ADORABLE. I love pregnant women. Well, mainly when they're not me.

I had a c-section in the two years since having my baby I have met midwives and other natural birth supporters socially who had felt nothing but pity for me because i obviously wasn't educated or empowered otherwise i would never have ended up in a c-section.<BR/>the hype books talk and the one sided opinions just made the fall harder in the days post birth when i realised i would probably never have the lower risk, natural, powerful vaginal birth i really really wanted.<BR/><BR/>yay! for 15 weeks and yay! for a tiny little round belly!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
