A few years ago, I invited a guy over and we ended up playing DDR on PS1. I had the window shades drawn because I live next to a road, have large windows, and I don't want strangers seeing me flail around like an elephant seal having a seizure.

My mother dropped by unexpectedly and I opened the door, red, panting, and sweaty, with a strange man on my couch who was trying to look casual.

Tried to blurt out that it was a misunderstanding, but she side-eyed me and left quickly.

At least she always texts me before she drops by now? I'm ace, so, for me, it's particularly mortifying.

I have a body that no clothes will fit. A very dramatic hourglass shape. If I see something cute, it definitely will not fit me.

Nothing. Fucking. Fits.

The worst part is the bras. The fucking bras!!! Why are US bra sizes so fucked?? I literally only wear ill-fitting sports bras now!!! Otherwise my tits are squeezed or wire stabs me or every other pain.

I also have stupid sensitive skin & hypohydrosis, so rashes & heat exhaustion are things I need to think about when getting dressed.

My kid got a potato this year! I was so proud.

Man. I'm a single mom. It be like that sometimes.

Not the whole "you need a man around"-thing. It's a single-parent thing. It's hard as fuck to do all the work yourself and not have someone to help out when you may be at your limit.

Not to mention single-parent households deal more with poverty, housing insecurity, poor mental health, overworking, etc.

I watched it happen to a lot of my friends growing up. It's fucking rough.

It's not every case, but it can be a lot.

Also good to remember that after a C-section, any child after that is recommended to also be C-section. Something like 25% of vaginal births after C-sections end in complications that will require a C-section anyhow.

Bodies are complicated. It's good to have treatment to ensure better health for the baby, regardless of what kind of birth was had.

I'd assume because with the wording you've used, it may seem like you are blaming women for getting C-sections.

(for the record, I did not downvote you)

Of course no one wants to hear this, as clashes with all sorts of taboos against women’s sexuality and giving birth in general!

Buddy. I don't have time to get into that rn. But ok.

The non-painful births do exist, absolutely, but they are outliers. I'm sure "pleasurable" births exist, as well, but, again, those are outliers.

Never in my life have I met a woman who gave birth with low pain without the use of drugs.

Even if some women use it to avoid the excruciating pain of vaginal birth, that's still a very very very valid reason.

The only "convenience" I'll assume you're talking about is for the doctor. I was told my only options for birth was a C-section or induced labor, because the doctor "didnt like surprises." I'm still upset that I did not know how to advocate for myself as a young adult because I was forced into an induction and several other unexpected medical nightmares due to hospital/staff/doctor negligence.
