Natural or C-Section

Did you know the latest fad of giving birth is via C-Sec? For those singletons who didn’t know that, yes that’s the in thing these days. A dear friend of mine is 6 months along the family way and she has made up her mind to go into labour and push her baby out the au natural way.

Doctors these days are too lazy to be on call and therefore try to convince you that a C-Sec will just knock you out and get the job done in an hour

Her mom told her that doing a C-Sec denies you the very right to enjoy the one experience of motherhood, and I must agree. Isn’t our body built to withstand pain? Our body or specifically the vagina is able to expand to allow the child to slide its way out. Amazing?

Choosing natural child birth is trusting your body to have the confidence; knowing we have all the tools we need to give birth.

Let’s face it, when you have a child, you carry her for the next nine months going through morning sickness, pregnancy classes, the Lamaze breathing techniques, weird cravings, swelled legs, awful stretch marks, nausea and worse avoiding alcohol for the whole nine months!!!!

After all that torture, don't you want to go through the final pinnacle of pain (or pleasure)?

Knowing the child has come out into this world through your own efforts is ultimately pricelsss

So kudos to my friend and to all the courageous women out there who’s willing to P-U-S-H
