Even now when I tell my birth story I emphasize the “emergency,” part – I worry that people will think I elected to have a c-section. The thing is, I have zero problem with elective c-sections. There are many reasons a woman might choose that, and none of her reasons are my business anyway. But still. I know some might judge me and so I pre-judge myself on their behalf. I think many of us do.
