After her emergency cesarean, her stepfather accuses her of being "lazy"
Cesarean section is a heavy operation, which has many consequences for the mother. Whether scheduled, convenience or emergency, some see it as a "false" delivery, because the baby did not come out through the vaginal canal. Others even consider it as the expression of the mother's laziness, as if she did not undergo the labor and the pain with the operation. However, this is far from being the case! But that didn't stop a young mother from being the victim of such an accusation from her stepfather, she tells Kidspot.
"Too lazy to push"
This anonymous mum explains: "I was exhausted after a long labor and an emergency cesarean". Her stepfather came to visit the young parents and their first child, a baby girl, the day after the birth. He looked at the baby smiling, but "that precious moment was ruined" by a completely inappropriate remark he made to his daughter-in-law. "He looked at me and said, 'You were too lazy to push, huh?' Although the comment was made as a joke (a jovial tone and a laugh afterwards), it didn't amuse me at all. I know how he is and, beneath the surface of his remark, in his eyes, there is had the truth," she said.
She says she was too tired at the time, and preferred to let it go. But, as one can imagine and understand, she was shocked and offended by her stepfather's comment. It must be said that having a caesarean section, urgently moreover, is absolutely not synonymous with laziness. She says it herself, the labor was long, she experienced the contractions, the dilation of the cervix... And we must not forget that, when it is decided to give birth this way, it is because that there is a danger for the mother and/or the child. That everyone is healthy after birth is the most important, no matter how you give birth!
