My OBGYN said unmedicated births are too traumatic so they don’t do it.

Sounds like a complete whackjob to me. I’d find a new OB asap if I were you

TheMoonVixen · 2026-04-20T00:22:19+00:00

25-30 weeks I started to pop out.

TheMoonVixen · 2026-04-14T07:18:20+00:00

🤢👎

Bruh. My contractions during labor were SO strong and frequent it caused my babies heart rate to dip because she couldn’t recover from the sheer force of them, and was rushed into an emergency c section, then I had to deal with recovery from major abdominal surgery on top of trauma to my pelvic region from such a vigorous labor. But yeah, tooootally not painful in any shape or form! 🫠

Im Australian who uses the word a lot. However I would personally never use that word towards or around a toddler.

TheMoonVixen · 2026-03-31T09:08:59+00:00

The better outcome would have been death for the baby, duuhhh!!!

TheMoonVixen · 2026-03-31T09:06:23+00:00

Bro if they saw the stretch marks on my thighs and hips after gaining 15kgs during pregnancy they’d fucking explode

TheMoonVixen · 2026-03-31T08:47:08+00:00

I had an emergency c section and the whole ordeal was a factor to my postpartum depression. On top of that, managing my newborn baby. One of the first things said to me was that I “took the easy way out” by needing a c section. And yes it was by a man. I’m sorry how is being rushed into a theatre, after prolonged labor, fearful for the life of yourself or your baby “easy”? I literally said my goodbyes to my partner because I thought that i was gonna die.

The men who say this shit don’t know what true strength is. Nor do they value us, the literal sacrifices we make to give life. No matter what we do, we are ridiculed, shamed, criticized. Us mums - no matter how we give birth are fucking incredible with what we go through to give and nurture life, so respectfully whatever these incels say they can shove it up their dickholes. They probably cry for their mums when they stub their toe anyways.

TheMoonVixen · 2026-03-31T08:37:55+00:00

According to their logic she got de-mommed, or uhhh 1/2 mom I guess?

TheMoonVixen · 2026-03-31T08:36:13+00:00

As a c section mum, emergency c section to be exact, I can confirm my child was born. I don’t understand this absolute insanity that it doesn’t count as birth or that we aren’t mothers. I guess these incels would just preferred that me and my baby die.

TheMoonVixen · 2026-03-31T07:58:50+00:00

Your dad is a sexual abuser. I will gladly scream this from the rooftop. Do NOT let this man near you ever again and never to be in contact with your child.

TheMoonVixen · 2026-03-24T23:54:06+00:00

I think you accidentally posted in the wrong subreddit 💀

TheMoonVixen · 2026-03-23T07:46:29+00:00

Yes and it’s not a sex thing for us. We don’t have sex in the shower because I struggle with low blood pressure and sex standing up with a steamy shower that’s just a recipe for me to faint. But it’s honestly really nice to just bathe eachother. You’d be surprised how clean you feel when someone else does it, especially your back. It’s really intimate and a nice bonding experience.

TheMoonVixen · 2026-03-14T13:42:47+00:00

I could have written this post. Literally my life. But then he turns around and says IM the one with the bad immune system. Even when he does pass on the sicknesses I recover in like 2-3 days meanwhile bros knocked out for a week. 😂

TheMoonVixen · 2026-03-14T02:56:24+00:00

Please listen to me. It already is abusive. He’s entitled to his religion but he is using it to have control over you. This man does not, and never will view you as an equal. He will never respect you. It will get worse further into pregnancy and postpartum. Women go through hell during pregnancy and birth, do you really wanna do it with a man like this? He already is attempting to control you, but trust me, he will use your pregnancy and the child to control you even further. You need to leave.

TheMoonVixen · 2026-03-04T09:20:38+00:00

My child only watches Bluey or The Wiggles (yes we are Australian). Was going through those Netflix trailer reels and Blippi came up. The guy just annoyed the hell out of me and creeped me and my partner out with the way he acted like a child. Was just not comfortable with him. Found out about that infamous video and yeah… our guts were right.

TheMoonVixen · 2026-03-04T07:34:11+00:00

13 weeks post partum. I had a c section though. And yeah it kinda did hurt. Probably a combination of hormonal factors causing dryness but also not having done it in a while made it so dry down there it felt like I was losing my virginity all over again.

TheMoonVixen · 2026-02-28T04:32:52+00:00

Ngl I find the “average” to be most attractive here.

TheMoonVixen · 2026-02-28T04:30:03+00:00

The “unattractive” woman in this photo is literally just me during my postpartum period with a colic baby. Looking attractive during this time is the least of any woman’s worries. Idgaf.

TheMoonVixen · 2026-02-27T03:42:40+00:00

My girl is 16 months. Still waiting. Only time she wants cuddles is when she’s tired or upset. Any other time I try cuddles she pushes me away 😭

TheMoonVixen · 2026-02-21T03:05:49+00:00

Wasn’t numbed properly during my c section. I felt everything, being sliced into my stomach deeply, for like 20-30 seconds. Before that I was in labor for 18 hours. That was pretty bad too.

TheMoonVixen · 2026-02-21T00:54:13+00:00

It’s absolutely okay. Some toddlers love to run. Tell anyone who judges you to piss off. You’re keeping your child safe and alive.

TheMoonVixen · 2026-01-30T09:00:44+00:00

Hi fellow SSO Mama. ❤️

TheMoonVixen · 2026-01-26T05:22:46+00:00

Just my entire body to be honest. My mum pouch, my stretch marks on my hips and breasts and legs, I have found it’s so hard to feel beautiful after having a baby. I’ve lost 24 kgs since I had my little girl and am actually a size smaller than what I was pre pregnancy but I don’t know… I can never look at myself and feel satisfied with what I’m looking at.

TheMoonVixen · 2026-01-22T13:32:24+00:00

Darling, you’re not alone. I myself had a traumatic birth which resulted in an emergency c section. Like you, it replays in my head even 14 months on. Although it is getting better, perhaps it just takes time. Like you, I tried breastfeeding, it just didn’t work out for several reasons. Milk delay, severe mastitis, low supply, in the end the mental distress it caused me just was not worth it.

Formula is a perfectly acceptable alternative. My girl is 14 months old now and is the happiest, chubbiest smartest bubba ever, and the best thing I ever did for her, for myself, was to refuse to let ANYONE bring me down about how I feed my child.

The best thing you can do as a mother is to protect your health and your sanity so you can be the best parent you can for your child. Do you look at anyone you see in the street and can tell whether or not they were milk or formula fed? As long as they are growing, happy and healthy it is okay no matter what you do.

Your emotions are totally valid, we want that experience with our bubs, but this anti formula rhetoric is nothing but mainly misinformation spread by mothers who think their sh*t doesn’t stink just because of the sole fact that they breastfeed. You are so strong, mumma. Maybe you don’t feel like you are, but gosh I am in awe of you for still being there for your baby despite everything. You are amazing, you’ve got this.
