It's about Dr. Laura saying that all women should be SAHMs until the child is at least 3 years old.
Whether we're talking about working or staying at home, I can't quite wrap my head around what is going on inside the brains of people that apply the phrase "all women should".
Do you think militants are actually serious, or just trying to get a rise out of others?

No, they aren't. Didn't I already agree that a c-section is a medical trauma?
Again, you're harkening back to the statement that I specifically limited to *me*. I said I would never describe my own c-sections that way. I understand that you and others would.
Hey there, mind if I butt into the conversation?
When people talk about it getting too late in labor to administer drugs, they are usually talking about an epidural. An epidural takes awhile to set up and a little while to kick in. They sometimes will not give you one after you are about 8 cm dilated.
People talk about the painful burning sensation around the perineum right before the baby is born, but honestly, I never felt anything -- I'd gone numb there during the pushing period. I had no drugs and a moderate tear. They gave me a local anesthetic to sew me up -- a few stitches, no biggie. I didn't even feel the shot.
