I decided today would be the day I won't let anyone irritate me with their small-town bs, whining about how miserable their lives are when they're anything but and the drama that comes with just putting yourself out there socializing with other human beings.
So. I will finally tackle the dreaded apr 8 loads of clean laundry that have desperately waiting to be put away where they belong and after our routine care program and after, what Mimi calls "being stink bug free" we are gonna take the one hour and something drive to Super Target. I may not be able to have me time and go get a sitter and get wasted with my girlfriends and cry about my oh so horrible life, yet I can still find ways to make me a little more comfortable. I just need to get out of here for a day.
So I just read on one of my many preggers apps on my phone, this article that didn't bother me much but the ladies rejoicing about it really made me think.
"A C-section sunny side.
Babies born via elective full-term C-section have less anxiety, depression, and aggression at preschool age compared with those from forceps of vacuum-assisted vaginal births, a recent study in BJOG notes. Lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol at birth may shape disposition long after delivery."
So now there's god knows how many women, saying they want a c-section because of THAT! That and well because the babies head will be round.
Uhm. Ok? So you're telling me, you'd rather get sliced open for no good reason rather than giving birth like a woman is meant to???? When the slice you open they might accidentally cut your baby. When they have to put you under (you're not awake all the time dear) you may never wake up. A c-section is surgery, it's not just a new trend. You will have a scar that will be with you for the rest of your life. You will be in a lot of pain after surgery and are less mobile than a woman who gave birth to her child the natural way.
It is beyond me, really how doctors can agree to such nonsense. When I hear "women" say things like "I want a c-section because I don't want to have to go through the pain of giving birth." Newsflash hun, what do you think surgery is gonna do? You think that's not gonna hurt?
I'm shaking my head because this just seems downright ridiculous. But hey, everyone their own. Maybe I'm just a party pooper or plain stupid for wanting (and looking forward) to once more been given the chance to squeeze an apr 9lbs baby out of my vagina. Haha.
On a side note, I think I broke my big toe yesterday when I dropped that bag of ice on it. That'd just be my luck. Last pregnancy it was my little toe when I stumbled to the bathroom in the middle of the night, half asleep of course, and hit it on the foot of the bed.
Tackle the laundry. Right.
Happy Sunday.
Girly, i am verry much against C-Sections as well.
ReplyDeleteThe vaginal flora plays an important role in the childs life long immunity. Just like slipping through some probiotic joghurt.:oD
And the narcotics, or whatsoever meds u need during a C- section are no good 4 child either, cause they will get into his system too.
And there is the fact that the sections chopps throug some REALLY important, vital Meridians,that is, Energylines (They DO exist), known in Chinese Medicine.

I had 2 c-sections and didn't go under for any part of either of them. Just FYI.
