The reason is that I had an emergency c-section, it saved my (then unborn) son's life but it also has caused a lot of issues (pain, things I won't go into) for me in the long run. I don't know what a normal birth is like and yes I have met some women who are like your mom and hop back to 110 lbs a few months after the birth. This was not the case with me and I'm still struggling to get rid of what I gained.. which is a pain, I loved my body :-( . <br /><br />There are people who try to tell me the scar is "a beautiful reminder" and I should just accept it, etc.. I want to punch them in the face. My body/skin is extremely sensative to trauma and I didn't find this out until after the birth. I wish someone had prepared me for both sides, both possibilities of the birth. Going through it then was so much for me that I honestly didn't want to have any more kids ever again. However, here 3 years later, I am debating the possibilty of having them.. maybe 4-5 years from now though. ^_~<br /><br />The reality of it is this: it's going to suck. It's going to hurt. It's going to be painful, no matter what method is used on that day. Our bodies react to things differently and so will yours. One thing is for certain, time will pass and when you look at the amazing child in front of you, it will be worth it. I wish all the time I had not gotten a c-section, but it saved my son's life so it was worth everything I've been through. Even on the days where you want to scream or pull your hair out from the stress, that child will climb on your lap, give you a hug and say " I love you Mommy " and those are the days that you'll remember more than anything. :)<br /><br />~NaomiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741648456493119486.post-20852280152438962752010-06-11T22:22:05.870-05:002010-06-11T22:22:05.870-05:00I think there is an unspoken pact that you should ...I think there is an unspoken pact that you should never talk about the realities of giving birth to someone who hasn't.

Also, I think you should post more of what y...LOVE. Also, I think you should post more of what your mom says, as it makes me feel much better about childbearing. Even though we don't share genes - we DO have the same middle name. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
