had my first child through c/s after 5+ years of marriage and six miscarriages along the way. when my mum came to see us in the hospital and learnt it was c/s, come and see the look on her face like someone just died. that was the look she wore for the period she stayed to take care of the baby. there was a day during that time that she said if we had told her we were going to undergo c/s, she wouldn't have allowed it. that she didnt even inform some people that i put to bed because she didnt know how she'd face them. i was so pissed (after suffering hbp in pregn twice), i told her that when those people she's trying to please find their children in the position i found myself, they should sacrifice their children on the altar of what will people say. (i said it in my language so it hit home well).
the question "is it normal delivery or c/s?" has become the new is it a boy or a girl. i have experienced it repeatedly. even on the phone, you will hear their sigh once you say it is c/s. it used to bother me but when i look at God's gifts to me, i no dey care again. i even show some friends who want to see the operation spot.
