4. Apparently Dumbass went ahead and got the C-section she wanted.
Edited on Wed Sep-14-05 05:22 PM by BlueIris
You know, to "avoid the pain" of childbirth. According to E!Online anyway. No word on the actual name--but I guess she considered "London" (in honor of the city in which her romance with K-Fed blossomed).

5. If she's that much of a wimp, then she's in for a surprise.
Giving birth is the easy part.

15. She'll probably outsource all the boring parts of child rearing.
But she can't outsource the C-section aftermath. :evilgrin:

21. And C-sections...gee... short term pain... longer term pain? Choices!
Edited on Wed Sep-14-05 07:13 PM by MissMarple
In other words, she's going to be in "uh lot o pain" (once said by an Australian guy referencing a first snowboard lesson). Or drugged to the gills...bad for baby. And she probably won't breast feed. Where are the VALUES, oh dear the family values!

And C-sections, I know about. In the plural. I've never been in labor. And it still hurts. For days. But, then, I didn't take all the meds. :)

It's surgery, for the love of God, it hurts!

27. I had a c-section and refused the meds too.
Damn that was alot of pain! I had to have the c-section and was very disappointed when they told me that it was the healthiest option left on the table.
I hope that they gave her a crappy cut and that her boobs fill so fast that she forms new stretch marks!

30. I asked for half the prescribed dose for the first day, both times.
Of course, there was no choice right after surgery. I know they complied, because I am not above going to the nurses station and reading the chart. I can be very bad. In a nice way. :)

I hate that drugged feeling. It's gross.

32. They gave me the morphine drip directly after surgery
but I refused to push the plunger. They didn't like that. And I refused all other offers of meds except for stool softeners, ferrous sulfate (I was very anemic before my daughter was born and the surgery made it worse), and one dose of tylenol.
They knew I meant business.

33. They gave me a TENZ unit. It's an electrical thing.
Actually, it worked pretty well. That was the second time. I didn't have a push thing. The nurses just came around and asked me, for some patients they just gave the shots. I was pretty clear about the asking part. They were good.

And you sound like quite the mega mama. Good for you! :hug:

34. I just didn't trust them.
I read everything I could about the subject (both natural and c-section). I had decided to nurse early on (from the moment I found out I was pregnant there was no question). They said that it wouldn't trace into the breast milk but I didn't trust that answer. I wanted as little as possible in my system-I even gave up all caffiene (hardest thing I ever did).

38. egads, WHY??? There is no heroism in suffering and pain, I LOVED having
the morphine and deeply appreciated it.

I can't imagine what possesses a woman in childbirth thinking she has to suffer through the pain when modern science has helped us ease it with good medications; it accomplishes nothing to be writhing in agony and clenching one's teeth in exhaustion.

After my c-section, I had a good night's drug induced sleep (after 36 hours of unrequited labor) and got to play with my baby when I woke up, quite rested and refreshed. I let the nurses and docs in charge handle the important stuff while I regained my footing so to speak; as the professionals that I had personally chosen, I had every bit of trust and faith in their work, and they did us all just great.

There is no heroism in giving birth in agony; it's just childbirth, women do it every day. You may as well enjoy it!

42. Because it wasn't as bad as they said it was.
I can take it-it wasn't that big of a deal.
I had a birthing plan and it wasn't followed. I was not happy at all. I had nearly 2 days of labor and slept long enough for the drugs from delivery to wear off.
Besides, there are enough addicts in my family (read: probably shouldn't have too many drugs around) and I have done better drugs than what they were giving me. I didn't want anything else. Getting up and moving around was the best thing for me. Lying in bed made me cranky. I wanted to be up and moving at the first oportunity.
I was in much worse agony when I shattered my hand.

Hope she likes being terribly constipated for over a week because c-sections will do that to ya.

29. Has she not heard of an epidural?
From what I understand it lessens the pain extensively and you can give birth normally.

C-sections are being handed out as flippantly as commercial medications these days.

I can see BritBrit coming up with some absolutely atrocious alternatives if that was the first draft.

Now if she has another one, she can run out of the bathroom, pregnancy test in hand, screaming "Oops I did it again!"

And yes, I'm bored.

Spears is still an idiot and I fear for her kid as it grows up with those parents.

45. I heard the baby was well under 6 pounds ?
Why did they do a section ? Unless there was a problem, because as vain as I fear she is, natural delivery w/epidural is less painless over major surgery recovery, and doesn't leave a scar!

46. Various disgusting rumors have indicated that Spears wanted
an elective C-section because she "wanted to avoid the pain" of childbirth, because she didn't want to gain anymore weight, and because her husband thought she was a) getting fat and b) would be less fun to have sex with after a normal delivery. :mad: K-Fed is a piece of shit.
