Re: Mothers not breastfeeding their kids
you also can’t judge an entire gender based on the actions of a few. Maybe those women say they’re too posh to push but you have no idea what the actual thought process is. A friend of mine had both her kids at home because she’s deathly afraid of hospitals and refused to go in for her deliveries. To you, that probably seems like she took unnecessary risks, but to her and her spouse, it was the best way of delivering their child. You simply cannot judge other women for the childbirth and nursing choices they make. You are not a woman, you will never know what it is like, and until you have pushed a human out of your body via natural delivery or have been cut open in a major abdominal surgery, you are not entitled to an opinion. The only
Personally speaking, i will have an elective c section this time. My first child was 9.5lbs and he got stuck. My doctor would rather I not suffer the same way this time trying to labour as this child will also most likely be bigger than average. I agree. My recovery was painful and slow. I was tired and in constant pain and unable to nurse beyond a week. If I can avoid that to even a small extent and be alert and well at the end of the delivery to parent both my children, then you can bet that’s what I’m doing. And sure, there’s always a chance this baby will not be as large and I could have a successful VBAC but I’m not interested in finding out. Removing the placenta- by any means- is what triggers milk production and if that doesn’t work, I’ll take alternate steps at that time, and if it still doesn’t work, then formula zindabad. My kiddo’s been flying high off the height and weight charts since he was born mashAllah thanks to a set of healthy parents and a healthy diet and lifestyle. He’s just one example of a thriving child fed almost exclusively on formula as an infant and that’s enough for me and my husband.
All of this is totally unnecessary … If you read the previous trail you will see I am not judging a whole gender … Rather I am preventing the whole gender being painted with a single brush …
I have no idea of personal examples of people who did not C-section out of choice … The way to get proper data is not to post your own experiences and assume everyone is the same as you, but to treat your own cases as variants of a possible plethora of cases, some of which are selfish …
