Mum-of-two hits back at people who suggest C-section births are the easy way out
Australian mum Olivia White is so sick of people suggesting she took the easy way out by having a C-section, that she has hit back in a candid post.
Taking to her Instagram account, the mum of two girls, Annabelle and Theodora, shared a photo depicting the truth of a C-section.
The snap depicts what it's really like post birth, her six-inch scar stretching across her abdomen, Olivia describing it as: "A gutted shark who had the body parts of the surfer it ate retrieved!"
"That's then sewn back together with fishing wire while it feels like your vital organs are trying to escape," the mum added.
And the mum perfectly describes the pain experienced postpartum, explaining: "If you don't time the Endone exactly before the previous lot wore off then you will most certainly know you are alive (while wishing you were dead)."
But it was her next sentence that should resonate with each and every person, giving some food for thought.
"If it wasn't for the ability to deliver my babies this way, they might not be here today."
We feel it's important for people to note that every birth is different, once the baby is happy and healthy that's all that truly matters.
