So what!
Oh I remembered something else I wanted to mention. While talking to Dr. Shamma he asked me a few things, but one thing he said stuck in my head. He asked about my delivery. I told him I ended up with a c-section. I kind of said it with maybe a bit of disappointment, he immediately responded... so what! That's one of the the things I really liked about Dr. Shamma. He so simply puts things in perspective. I had to have a c-section. So what. I still ended up with a perfect, beautiful, healthy baby boy. Who cares how he got here. You hear and read so much about lethargic babies after drugs were used and how c section babies are this and that. Milo came out alert and healthy. He seemed to have no negative effects of a c section. I'm glad I labored naturally for as long as I did. It showed me that I could handle natural labor... it was empowering. And I know I did everything I could before going to a c section. But 'the books' have you so worried and concerned... but when it comes down to it if you end up with a healthy baby, so what.

There have also been a lot of studies done that show that c-section babies have higher IQs, are more alert, and reach milestones faster-- (but again there are studies that show the opposite-- soooo nothing is a for sure)
ReplyDeleteBut I always say-- as long as they are healthy WHO CARES how they get here!
