Why do most Nigerian women stigmatize those ladies that gave birth through CS?

Does it mean that because a woman gave birth through CS she's not a real woman?

Caeseran section or delivery' cs.
Majority of african women are living in the past plus the african mentality except the few educated ones...
What you critize and hate is other people's top priority... What others hate and critize is your top priority.. Just as you was insulting the innocent nigerians boys for going after white women.. That is life for you...
Till today 70% of nigerian women take a surrogate kid as an abnormal being...

1.Illiteracy

2.Religious bigotry.

They want to give birth like the "Hebrew women".

3. Cost of CS in Nigeria is relatively expensive compared to vaginal delivery.

While nothing is wrong with the above, this is 2023 and with advances in medicine, CS has become a relatively safe procedure.

That said, I had all my kids through CS and they are all healthy and normal without complications and I could easily afford the cs.

I usually don't care what other people think.

If it is true, then women are the most thoughtless being in the womanhood of the universe... Like who makes a mockery of such

1. The birth-pang of natural birth is symbolic.
It normally should change a woman forever. It's a NDE that should make one put life and legacy in perspective.
It's difficult not to care for such a child when you know the cost of delivering them.

2. Nigerians don't appreciate CS. In Nigeria CS is also a NDE as some doctors can easily botch the process carelessly. Of course there's the cost implications.
However where it is painless, some mothers don't get that sense of essence of child-birth that instils a sense of purpose, legacy and responsibility into a woman.

I hope this helps.

CS is not painless

Well, I've never heard these things in real-life...

Worriedwife:
CS is not painless

I mean the operation/process. Some pain can be numbed with analgesics

Acidosis:

For real?

I've heard it in church countless times during testimony sessions.

You'll hear things like...Praise the Lord. I want to thank God for not allowing me deliver my child through CS. The doctor told me that I should get ready to be moved to the theater for operation, but I called daddy and he prayed with me on the phone and told me that CS is not my portion. And to the glory of God, I delivered before I was taken into the theater, the God of the Hebrew women appeared in the hospital and saved me from CS.

Then she would drop seed on the altar and leave.

The problem here is that there are other women who are seated in that congregation that gave birth through CS, how would they feel hearing that kind of testimony, does it mean that their own God is dead, are these ones better than them, is giving birth through CS an abomination, why not just thank God for safe delivery and drop the mic without condemning CS?

Some Africans are gullible.

Ignorance
Many enlightened women even go opt for Caesarian delivery because it's safer once donw by competent hands.
U hardly hear of complications following Caesarian delivery when it is elective ie date planned ahead and surgery done before wokan falls into labour.

I consider it to be the safest,... People died because of ignorance

Only those that allow themselves to be stigmatized.

Bleep whoever says odd to the life and safety of the mother and child via CS.

As someone who's had 2 kids born through C-section (ọmọ, I pity my wife meeeehn!) I can tell you it's a traumatic experience for the woman and her husband.

Still, it's a safe method of delivery if pre-planned and executed well, because the process is controlled with little unknowns lurking in the weeds.

That PUSH! PUSH!! PUUUUSSSH! ehn?

I don't even know which is more strenuous for the woman sef. The CS hurts for longer and can have greater risk of issues like infection of the surgery site, but, like I said, if planned and done well, it's not bad.

My wife was already quarrelling with me a week after our first was born.

I was driving her and the baby home after they were discharged from hospital. She was vexing at my driving!

I was frowning at the wheel, but laughing and jumping for joy on the inside.

She and I have been through a lot over the years.....I love her more than before.

I gave birth to my first child through CS 4 months ago after undergoing 3 days labour
I thank God for the life of my Blue Jet and I.we are healthy and good.

Me too o. I don't think anyone mock people who delivered through CS, rather they showed sympathy because of the cost involved. Op is just bringing vawulence where it doesn't exist.

We are coming from a Religious & Cultural tradition of where it is considered more blessed to give birth like "Hebrew Women".

Such beliefs usually take time to overcome.

Some women have been brainwashed. For example, you go to church and you hear things like, "you will deliver like the Hebrew women" and other stuff.

While that's not bad, the peculiar circumstances made God give those privileges to Hebrew women alone, considering their issues in Israel.

Back to the topic. Ignorance is bliss for many women. Meanwhile, some babies are too big to push them through some vaginas. Again, some women lack the strength to push over some time, so their best bet is via CS.

The kind of food we eat in Africa has also undergone dramatic changes, which can decrease the strength our women need to birth without CS.

A child is a child, regardless of how you birthed the child. Don't feel bad or low self esteem. You're a mother. What matters is a healthy child and mother passing through the medical process.

Just this week, we learnt of two mother's that passed after birthing. In all that happened there was no mention of pushing or CS. HEALTH IS PARAMOUNT! Let the doctors help you decide the best method to birth.

Iam 37 now at 27 I did cs wen I gave birth to my first child ,I was stigmatized by my own husband and i felt very bad about it.he told me that his sister's have never done anything like that wen they were birthing children I felt so bad and angry but thank God it was successful.i gave birth to the 2nd born and 3rd born through normal delivery.God took control.inhave stopped.let me take care of the beautiful 3 that God gave to me.

Cs or not, the goal is never to loose guard and get preggie for any he goat that's not a politician or multi millionaire.

Illiteracy and ignorance plus stupidity .

What form does this stigmation take?

Na wa oooo


It is only weak and over pampered women that give birth through C-S.


Women stigmatize their fellow women in everything even down to who have bigger nyash, breast and tight kpekus.

Women are the enemies of Women

I can't relate to this.Maybe it happens in your environment. I have had two and no one around me cares how I delivered babies.

In my work place, we easily and publicly share our experiences before, during and after the operations, laugh, and share bragging rights about who has the best and worst experience.

So I always wonder where the stigmatization comes from when people say this

As long as a woman gives birth successful it is something to thank God for.

Most Nigerian women are daft and ignorant.

Thats all I can say.

Caesarian delivery should only be done on the advice of the doctor if to.to delivery is not possible not because you want to preserve the circumference of your to.to.

The choice of a woman to prefer to.to delivery to caesarian should not be derogatively term ignorance neither does wanting Caesarian makes you enlightened, posh and sophisticated.
