Some are so afraid of giving birth that they are ready to persuade the doctor to have an operation even without indications. You know, they just don’t know what they’re doing.
It is difficult to give birth itself. It hurts, often for a long time, sometimes completely impossible. Then the doctor announces that there is no way out: only cesarean. For those who have gone through the operation, some “naturalists” look down on them. Even slightly contemptuous. Like, I didn’t strain at all. They did everything for you. Not even real births. But this is an abdominal operation. There are risks, pain, blood, and fear.
“To say about cesarean that this is an easy way out is stupid,” wrote Ray Lee on her Facebook page. She just became the mother of a wonderful boy. And yes – she was given a caesarean.
Ray honestly tried to give birth herself. 38 hours after the start of the contractions, she was completely exhausted. It became clear that Ray would not be able to give birth without the intervention of doctors. Further attempts were already dangerous for the child. She was sent for an emergency caesarean.
“This was my most painful experience,” Ray wrote. And she has something to compare with, because she is an extreme. Ray is dancing with fire – literally. She has several “fire-breathing” numbers. And tattoos and piercings are also not the most pleasant experiences, I must say. But the operation … It could not be compared with anything else.
“I imagined the birth of my son in a completely different way. I was scared to get up. After all, this meant lifting a body from the bed, cut in the middle and sewn again. It still hurts me. Muscles, skin, a terrible scar … Everything hurts, ”she describes her feelings.
Her post got over 10 thousand shares in just four days. And there were words of support and criticism in the comments. Basically the first thing, of course. “I was physically unable to give birth myself. The caesarean section saved the life of both me and my baby. And no one dares to say that I am some kind of wrong mother, since I did not manage to give birth myself! ” – women wrote. Mom.
Then Ray had to delete the post – maybe because of criticism, or maybe someone complained about the unpleasant pictures: she attached pictures of her belly, on which a scar had not yet completely healed, to the post. Then comments began to be left under other posts of Ray.
“I had two caesarean. The eldest son is already 20 years old, and I still remember this pain. Caesarean is not an easy solution. This is the pain that is with you for the rest of your life. There is nothing simple in this, ”write women who have survived a cesarean.
“I went through it. And every time I see my son’s smile in the morning, I understand that it was not in vain, ”concludes Ray.
