Hi ladies,
I have posted on this board before, but not in a LONG time!! LO was born in December. I'll keep this part brief - water broke and went into labor on my own, labored at home for about 6 hours, got to the hospital and was at a 6 by then, and labor slowed down significantly. Fast forward about 14 hours - due to baby's head size, the fact that it had almost been 24 hrs since water broke, and misc other factors (baby's hb was all over the place, I had a 102 fever), dr decided c/s was the safe way to go. I have done my best to make peace w/that and I do well for the most part. I mean, I am thriled w/baby being safe and healthy, and all things considered, recovery went ok.
Anyway, we have some friends who were having a baby and we are dog sitting while they are in the hospital. They called last night and said they were going in this morning @ 7 to be induced, and asked if we could pick up their dog. Well, apparently, she went into labor on her own last night and had the baby at 5 this morning. DH got the text around noon today saying the baby had arrived. DH texted back and asked how much he weighed. The new dad texted back "6 lbs 6 oz". Then in a separate text sent this: "With no induction, no meds, all natural". I know I'm being silly and sensitive, but it rubbed me the wrong way. Not because she had a natural birth, or because they wanted to share that. But, mainly because they went out of their way to add it. Feel free to tell me to chill out .
Hope you ladies are having a fabulous day!
Re: Hoping some of you can relate...
Sounds to me like he was a new dad that was amazed at what his wife just did. Having a csection doesn't mean you are weak and certainly isn't the easy way out. Besides you labored for 20 hours and had a csection!
You should just focus on being happy for your friends.
When you've been married this long, you need a ticker to remind you.

He was probably just very excited. I doubt he even remembered you had a C-section when he sent the text. Men don't see the big picture, especially after seeing their child being born.
My H rambled on about our twins to my cousin who is suffering through infertility issues. Was it insensitive? Yes. Did he mean to be? Not at all. He was just excited.
