So right, Jo! Being pinned down and not being able to move your legs is a
horrible feeling - NO sense of control there.
And on the subject of "reasons" for a c/sec...I find it interesting when I
hear women say that they want a c/sec because they hate pain. I can say
from experience that a c/sec is in no way pain-free. Especially the
postnatal period. Trying to sit-up with a fresh slice across your belly,
add to that a uterine infection or scar infection (which most women I talk
to have had one or the other), bleeding and mashed raw nipples (from trying
to feed lying down b/c it is too painful for your belly to sit up, but then
it is too hard to get proper attachment lying down, hence the nipple
damage), feet blown up like puffer-fish for days and extremely tender, and
all without those releasing hormones of birth.
Now THAt is not pain-free.
Sigh - I am a little cynical these days.
