I understand everyone is upset because this girl is an idiot for letting her 2 lb girl get pregnant and then refusing a c-section for whatever reason, but I don't feel there's an honest comparison to this and natural childbirth. This dog needs a c-section. Not all dogs or women do, but those that choose no meds are rock stars in my book! |
5 pregnancies/6 children/no meds -
You are a medal of honour recipient in my book! Every Mother's Day you should be pampered to your heart's content! (not to mention your birthday, Valentine's Day, etc!)
I guess I took her statement another way (I could not wrong in my interpretation). I thought she meant subjecting a 2 lb girl to bring a pup into the world whose head circumference on x-ray is larger than her pelvic measurement is absolute cruelty, and the only thing she could think of comparatively would be childbirth w/o meds. I'm sure you would agree it is one heck of an accomplishment what you went through. It is a testament to your pain tolerance and psychological stamina! Not all are capable of what you did - I would take it as a huge compliment!
And if you are not being treated like a queen on Mother's Day, you just let us know!!! You know that old saying, if men had to give birth, the human race would be extinct!
