Heyy everyone I hope the week has been great so far. I have been super busy..cos I am a super mom and everyone around me is super including you. Muah! I decided not to let this trending topic pass me by and so I decided to go full length on the topic.
Well, the talk about a women who gave birth naturally as superior and others who give birth through caesarean section as inferior isn’t over just yet and may not be over any time soon because as long as women keep comparing themselves and inferiority complex runs their world, this kind of talk will never end. How women love to find fault…..in other ways, I think these faults only make me a stronger and a better person and that’s the way I love to think about it. Today, if it is not women who are married, superior over those who are not or those who are married, with kids and have jobs over those who are stay at home moms. I just tire!
So someone somewhere in some part of the world thinks that she is superior because she gave birth naturally…..*I clap in admiration of her illiteracy*. It is really sad that people are really myopic at a woman’s choice (which sometimes it isn’t because in most cases, she doesn’t have a choice but to be wheeled to a theatre) to have a safe birth whether naturally or by CS. The most gracious gift God has given to every woman is to conceive, carry a baby safely to term and give birth; with mother or child/ren in good health and I appreciate that.
A woman’s body is her right and her choice to give birth whether naturally or through a CS is really nobody’s business and then no one has the right to condemn her or to label her “a weakling” or an “inferior woman”. A woman is a woman! Even if she willfully and deliberately opts for a CS…..it is her right! A woman should not be defined by her choices.
My babies weighed 4.5kg and 4.9kg at birth and even though I had people around me who were willing to label me a “weakling” for not being able to push these “mini adults” through my cervix, I couldn’t take chances with my life and the lives of my children. I brag about the choices I made to have caesarean births because I believe I made the right choices, saved the life of my kids and have no regrets whatsoever. Recovery and staying extra days in the hospital wasn’t easy but I loved being taken care of by the doctors and nurses.
Women have the right to be informed about what really matters…..their health and the health of the child/ren and we should learn to respect their choices. Husbands should show support to their wives and doctors and/or nurses should communicate with their clients on the available options….and respect their choices too.
So, women whatever choices you made or you’ll make to have a safe birth, you rock and you got the job done!
