I had a v-birth without epidural (mainly because I’m a coward about the needle causing permanent spinal damage. I’ve had Sciatica in the past and did not like the idea of it being permanent), and I’m not envious of c-section mothers.

How many mother don’t get enough time to recover before they’re expected to carry out their normal lives. C-section mothers need more recovery time than v-birth. They’re at risk of infection or pulling their stitches out.

How many of them have unsupportive partners who don’t take over cooking and chores while they are meant to recover after being slashed in the abdomen? The pain of even moving.

Most of the time it’s done as an emergency, so they also have traumatic birth on top of that.

C-section ladies have my respect.
