OT: About 'Brangelina': Warning: NC-17 thread (I think)
ednbarby:
Actually, Will almost came into the world by C-section. In a lot of ways, I wish he had (and not because of any impact on our sex life, thankyouverymuch - the doc helped out with that in her, uh, stitching technique).
Warning: Possible TMI Ahead (as if that wasn't enough, already):
I mostly wish he had because the umbilical cord was compressed against him in the birth canal and he started losing oxygen rapidly - they were this || close to doing an emergency one on me. If I could have foreseen that, I'd have opted for a planned one. I still blame myself in a way for that bit of oxygen getting cut off to him and perhaps causing the developmental delays he's had his whole short life, not to mention the attention deficit problems (God, I so hate to say that term - I used to think it was overdiagnosed, but now I swear we're all seeing it in him) we're seeing now.
C-sections take longer to recover from, I hear. But vaginal births ain't no walk in the park in that respect, either. No one tells you that - it's just something some of us women, lucky us, get to experience. :-\

I had one of each and let me tell you, they both take a while to recover from...you are just recovering from different things! LOL
Each birth was absolutely transcendent, in its own way, and each was meant to be the way it was...
And neither one (ie, the birth procedure) was "planned" although both required medical intervention. IMO, there is a big difference....

I hear you there, soul sistah. I shouldn't fault myself - I did the best I could. And look at the reward - I have a *beautiful* son. He is just what he was meant to be. And then some. :)

They all are perfect and all meant to be...even with the little uphill battles we all face...
That is why I actually don't envy alot of rich & famous people...having nannies and all that...part of having kids means being with your kids...

Butterfly continues: It's cut the pain right in two!
In my Lamaze calss (for my second child; in Chicago, they did the old fashioned way, and knocked me out withg a crowbar), everything was fine, except they forgot to mention one word:
PAIN...
