Mom Who Had C-Section Told She Didn't 'Actually Give Birth' By Friends

Many moms who do natural deliveries often look down on C-section moms, saying that they did not "actually" deliver their babies. This opinion can be seen as rude and closed-minded by moms who have delivered through a C-section.

Moms always love to judge other moms for not doing things "exactly the same way" as they do. It's hard to understand how women can tear each other down like this.

The mom wrote into the popular Parenting subreddit, saying that her friends have not been supportive at all when it comes to her C-section delivery of her newborn child.

The Reddit user simply titled the post, "I found out I actually didn't give birth."

Immediately, I got angry because I had to brace myself for what was to come.

They decided to have a get-together with friends after their son turned six months.

"So I had an emergency c section six months ago. My partner and I decided to have a small get-together with friends. One of his friends whom I can't stand and genuinely believe is a sociopath asked me if my son got a birth certificate," the mom said.

The next comment was one that absolutely no one was prepared for.

"I was pretty confused and replied with a yeah.. Then he informs me I shouldn't have gotten one because I did not give birth my son was extracted from me like a tumor," she wrote.

However, this mom was pretty non-confrontational with the people there.

"His wife and a couple of people snickered with him. I did what I always do which is ignore him because I don't deal well in those situations," she said.

She said:

"I wanted to tell everyone they're a [expletive] ding dong though because regardless it's still considered giving birth."

Of course, it is! She carried this child for nine months in her stomach and created life!

One Reddit user said that they need to cut ties with this person immediately.

"If one of my friends talked that way to my wife, in regards to one of my children, they 1) wouldn't be invited back, 2) wouldn't be my friend any more," said one commenter.

One Reddit user said:

"Times like this is when a sweet, calm response like 'I’m sorry, I don’t really get it— can you explain the humor to me?' Is perfect. make them feel hella uncomfortable — and if he doesn’t feel embarrassed then he really is a real turd."

Under absolutely no circumstances does delivering a baby via C-section make it any less of "giving birth." Moms out there know that carrying a child to full term is not easy, so don't be discouraged by animals like this!
