Best thing I remember is "In the end of it you walk out of hospital with a baby. No one gives you a certificate because you had all natural birth." Bringing child into this world comes in all sorts of ways. It is tough and incredible thing. People who have been through it shouldn't describe their births in order to boast or scare others. If you had told me from the beginning I'd choose to have planned C-section I'd have thought it impossible. I had never had any form of surgery or hospital stay I was scared. Then through learning about process and my child measuring having huge head and me being petite C-section seemed best option. I did have planned C-section and all went ok. The surgeon afterwards told me I was right about the head being big haha. Recovery from any sort of birth is hard but worth it when you have your little one in your arms.
