No Respect if not Natural

I personally have no respect for women that accept all the painkillers and epidurals. Childbirth has been done naturally since the beginning of time and unless a C-section is needed, there is no reason to introduce drugs into the system when you are carrying a child. I had my daughter completely natural and yes, IT HURT, but childbirth isn't supposed to be a day at the beach. I got through it just fine and my daughter had no drugs in her system when she was born. They tell women, don't drink, don't smoke, don't eat tuna, don't drink coffee, etc., etc. but it's OK to inject drugs into the system when she's in labor? I think there should be doctors who stand up and quit offering all of these painkilling drugs. It's labor, it hurts and then it's over. Be a real woman and don't use medications to give birth.

That is an absoloubtley DISGUSTING comment to make. Not a real woman for accepting painkillers?!! Thats ridiculous, narrow minded and I feel for your poor children having a mother so disrespectful and such silly opinions.

that has to be THE rudest and most disrespectful comment I have ever read!! How dare you judge others based on what YOU went through. I'm sure you disagree with pitocin then also? Well guess what, my sister had a baby 2 months ago, she swore up and down NO MEDS, until her babys life was at stake! so what, shes not a "real woman" because she chose medication to speed up her labour to save her babys life? And the pain meds she swore she'd never take, but had to because of the extremely long (and other personal matters due to her..) labour? You are clearly uneducated, and I'm sure your one of those mothers who are all high up on her horse because she went natural... are you a doctor now? and you know whats best for every woman out there? you don't know all the circumstances and its women like you who make other women feel like less worthy mothers!!! Your an awful person for saying that and one day...it will come back to you, who knows, maybe your next child won't be so easy... maybe you'll be the one begging for an epidural!! Ugh...you make my blood boil!

That comment is disrespectful! Just because you chose natural doesn't mean it's good for others. Who needs your respect anyway? You are not an integral part of every woman's life. Medical advancements were made for a reason. I guess you'd get offended if women of 200 years ago said they had no respect for today's woman's who uses sanitary pads and tampons and should use what they did then? You're an idiot. Have all the natural births you want but don't put down others. You never know why a person may have to take meds. It's not your business and who cares if they don't have your respect. You are not God!
