Did I just read that right?

Manderlin923 · July 2009

Someone posted in birth stories about being scared of having a vaginal birth- which is totally understandable.

but then this woman replied that she is having a c-section because she doesn't want sex to be like "a hotdog thrown down a hallway"

Um. Indifferent

I wonder what her doctor thinks about that?

HAHAH i have no idea where you read this at.. but I am laughing really hard.

Stupid people shouldn't be allowed to pro-create.

mommabarker09 · July 2009

My boss was basically trying to suggest I be more open to a c-section for this reason. All of our co-workers are way too close, but this was a little much lol.

A huge eyeroll to her. Dumbass.

starlingrose · July 2009

lol... Thats a natural concern but I wouldnt go out of my way to have major surgery to avoid that. My main concern is Im going to tear in half since I cant even "accomodate" sex right now!

JCM083009 · July 2009

Wow. See and woman acting and thinking like that are why C Sections, inductions, etc. are given such a bad rap lately. It's one thing to do them for medical and safety reasons, but the abundance of them for reasons like that, among others, truly scares me.

My OB told me yesterday that in South American c/s are 80% of all births due to women ELECTING them! WTF??

That's insane to me!

Does she not realize that it all goes back??!! Was she the girl who posted about being worried about using tampons for her monthly friend durring pregnancy??!!!

jenbabe3 · July 2009

On the flip side, I just spoke with a lady yesterday that said ever since she had her first child a couple of years ago, sex has been so painful because they accidentally stitched it too tight. She spoke with her OB about it, and the OB said that when she had her next baby (she's due in a few months) they could try to loosen it back up to where it was before. That's a situation I've never heard of before!

The hotdog comment made me giggle

fallbride00 · July 2009

I just snorted when I read that. Too funny!

m&n8.27.05 · July 2009

HA HA HA - - that's horrible and funny at the same time!

gizmo909 · July 2009

After one of my best friends had her 3rd baby, her husband jokingly asked the Dr if he could put an extra stitch or 2 in just in case. Needless to say, she didn't think that was very funny at the time. She jokes about it now though.

Manderlin923 · July 2009

Mrs Prek- your baby boy is soooo darn cute! He looks IDENTICAL to one of my favorite babies at daycare. I affectionately refer to him as "Squishy"

I don't know where she's talking about in South America, but I live in Chile and the rate is 70%, which I've been told is second in the world, only to Afghanistan. The reason most people have c-sections here is that there are two health care systems. The public health care system is worthless and the private is out to make money.

C-sections are more expensive and let the docs "budget" their time.Most women who can afford a private clinic, but not one of the best, end up with a c-section bc the doctors and clinics make more money that way. The other option is poor medical attention and the possibility of having the baby in the waiting room at a public hospital.

So, anyone who can't afford the equivalent of two months salary, up front out of pocket, after insurance coverage is faced with a choice: probable c-section at a middle-class clinic or questionable attention at a public hospital...

notelizabeth · July 2009

i read that too!

i don't think that's what it's like after a vaginal delivery. i asked an ex (who had 2 kids from a previous ex).

and hi, recovery from a c section has got to be way worse. it's called kegels. do them.

prettyshoes · July 2009

Well if you're planning on having sex directly after a vaginal birth, then yes, it might be like a hot dog down a hallway. But it doesn't STAY like that. What a dummy.

Eburke1986 · July 2009

My mom told me they used to <Idk if they still do or not though> But when a woman had to get sticthes from a tear or episiotomy<sp> the Dr's might put in an extra stitch to "tighten" things up down there and they called it a Husband's Knot lol

It's the same in Venezuela (My original country). Thay even perfiom pelvic test to see if you can delivery naturally, and "surprisingly" most of the women have "strecht pelvis" so they "need" a c-section.

Also some OBs don't like to be called during nigth because it is not safe to go out at late hours (Security issues)

sprice88 · July 2009

That is a pretty funny comparison!

thatgirlang · July 2009

Jenny McCarthy said that in Belly Laughs so sometimes people use that phrase here. It all goes back, trust me!

Um, no.

jason&robin · July 2009

that's silly. My mom had 2 csections and a hysterectomy. Now she has a bit of a shelf. I would rather have a loose vag for a couple of weeks than a tummy that will never look the same and require more surgery if I want to fix it.
