Describing the birth…

It depends how they asked and who it was coming from 100% context is always important

I don’t understand why someone would ask that question as surely the default answer would be natural with maybe gas and air or pain relief unless there was a reason like previous history or medical issues. Surely it’s more how was the birth and then the person has the option of saying or maybe you or your partner might disclose it due to not being able to drive, being in pain ect.

I've had one vaginal birth and a planned C-section. There was nothing that felt 'natural' about my vaginal birth. It honestly drives me mad when people use 'natural' instead of vaginal. Not all vaginal births are the same.

I’ve had two C-sections and have no issues with the word “naturally”. There’s nothing natural about my births and I chose that route 🤣

I don’t take things to heart, natural, vaginal, whatever you want to say, mine got evicted out the sunroof and I’m very happy with that.

No it doesn’t offend me. But I always make sure to say vaginally instead of naturally. I think people only say naturally because society has taught us that vagina is a bad word

Tbf it doesn’t bother me when people ask if I had a natural or c section but I think I was never bothered by the fact I didn’t give birth vaginally. My first was just traumatic that’s the only way I’d describe that one 😅

I’ve had 2c-section and I don’t care how people call their birth naturally or vaginally ! And anyway all « natural » or vaginal aren’t the same… and so what ! A birth is a birth and a warrior act no matter what your way of put that Baby out !!

It did when I had my first. It wasn't expected and I really wanted a vaginal birth... My second was an elective C-section because childcare for my first was an issue. I don't really mind now, but freshly postpartum it stung a bit because it felt like I failed in a sense....
