I recently have been reading online some blogs, message boards and so on. And I see some women who are just truly upset about getting a last minute or even scheduled c-section. I read comments like, "I was so disappointed!", "I am so upset!" or "I think it was un-needed and un-necessary!". Don't get me wrong, I realize there are doctors out there who do them cause its easier on them to have things scheduled. But truly, I think those doctors are far and few in between. My point is...........it gets the baby out, so why be upset? The end result is there is a blessing of joy from the Lord......how can you be so upset? Having both can I completely understand that the recovery is harder, and who gets excited about major surgery? But the bottom line is your child is here and they are SAFE. That is what birthing is about, getting your child here safely as possible. I guess when after losing my son I feel that complaining HOW you get them here SAFELY is a bit selfish. Relish in the fact you were blessed in the first place to have a blessing from the Lord, that they are here, you can hold them and they are healthly. Thank God that there is a c-section (whether it was needed or not in your mind) that brought that child in the world.I can only imagine what a child in later years would feel like hearing a mother say repeatedly, "Oh they MADE me have a c-section for him/her.....and it was awful and I felt it was un-necessary." I choose to tell my daughter and soon Josiah when he comes in the world how I feel SO blessed that the Lord gave me another blessing! And how blessed I am that HE put me in the hands of a surgeon who was able to get them here safely. At the end of the day when I held them all the pain, recovery and fear was WELL worth it. Isn't that what parenting is about? Choosing THEM first?
