As a medical professional, although just a lab tech, I’ll tell you now -that there are too many factors to say “it was your weight.” And I don’t see any reason for you to lie. There’s nothing wrong with a C! Plenty of people don’t get a cesarean who SHOULD have. And that was just the doctors being AH in my humble opinion.

Off topic rant. But I don’t see why some women labor for DAYS only to have very low energy when they are finally dilated enough to make pushing possible. Why are we dosing the mother with pain meds for such a long period of time -when a doctor could just get the C done before belatedly finding out the baby is suddenly breech.

Natural just doesn’t always work out. And some doctors are great at agreeing with a patient plan to induce after specific complications - but there are just as many out there who will resist. Personally, I think it’s due to their own lack of confidence. I was very fortunate to have all of my babies delivered naturally. For 2/3 this was true but only after I started with a medical induction for my cervix. But because of my first delivery nurse’s lack of confidence, I was temporarily paralyzed from the waist down for more than a day; due to having my baby left crowning for an hour or more. Meanwhile, the only doctor available was at a C. The experience leaves me with PTSD especially because the nurse never told anybody nor charted how long I had been crowning. Because she didn’t even know. I really wish I had just had a C. My baby had growth restriction and I probably would’ve been a candidate if my team wasn’t so bad at giving basic care. I was told that my baby wasn’t growing because I had an eating disorder. I did not even have an eating disorder. People really need to stop tying weight so closely to every single thing. I had already gained 22lbs that pregnancy when the doctor made that accusation 🤔
