I recently heard a National Public Radio program about elective C-sections which just made my blood boil.
They had two OB's on--both male, and some woman who I believe was a women't health historian. Many of the callers said things like, "of course I support a woman's choice..." One caller refered to her C-sections as "natural births" (?!).
Sometimes a C-section is necessary, but I felt frustrated, while listening to this program, that no one would admit that someone who has had a C/S has missed out on something.
A mom in my LLL group who had a C/S with her second child, told the group it was a relief to be at a group meeting where she felt it was "Okay for me to be sad" about that part of her daughter's birth.
