Does anyone else hate when people who have had vaginal births slate c-sections?

Like… some of us didn’t choose to have a c-section, it was to save our life and/or our child’s life and comments about it can make us feel awful…

I don’t think anyone should be shaming women for choosing what’s best for their or their babies health.

*Oh and “hypnobirthing” won’t help you during a medical emergency… Maybe best to stay quiet during these conversations if you’ve never experienced such situations.*

Different symptoms/gender related

This is my second pregnancy and i have very different symptoms this time. I mainly just feel tired and occasionally feel sick. With my daughter i was SO sick for like 6 weeks straight. Wondering if this can be gender related?

Has anyone had really different symptoms for each pregnancy and had different genders?

Prodromal labour

Those that experienced this, when you went into real labour do you think it made it quicker?

Punched in the privates

Hi ladies, I am 38+6 with my second child and for the past few days I am in so much pain in my vagina area. I can be sitting down, go to stand and walk and it completely stops me. It's like I've been punched on my pubic bone and it's severely bruised (without the bruising ....or the punch!) I never had this with my first, is anyone else experiencing anything like it? I've had lightening crotch but this is different! May just be baby burrowing down ready?

Breech birth

Has anyone opted for a vaginal birth knowing that baby is/will be breech at birth? My midwife is pushing for a c-section is baby doesn't flip but im really against a c-section. Im thinking to keep pushing for a natural birth even is baby is breech still. I knkw there are more risks but surely k owing baby is breech then more preparation can be done?
