Kate Hudson Gets Blasted For Calling C-Sections 'Lazy"
New York Post ^ | 9/12/17 | Francesca Bacardi

Posted on 09/12/2017 1:10:20 PM PDT by sparklite2

Kate Hudson is feeling the wrath of mothers after implying that getting a cesarean section is taking the easy route when it comes to childbirth.

The 38-year-old mother of two appears on Cosmopolitan’s October cover — and found herself facing controversy when she answered “Have a C-Section!” when asked to name the laziest thing she’s ever done. Hudson gave birth to now-13-year-old son Ryder via c-section.

Te complaints might be misplaced. You might need a C-section for medical reasons, or you might choose one for personal convenience. She might have been completely truthful and in her case (the question was about her personally) the C-section was just laziness.

Some are necessary, some are perhaps “lazy” as she puts it but there’s some amount of fear mixed in. Some do it out of vanity, too, though, now that the scarring is not that evident.

The thing that strikes me is that we’re going to come to a time when natural childbirth will be difficult to practically impossible for many women due to natural selection being taken out of the picture, as far as women giving birth but also children as far as birth weight, etc.

If the much talked-about societal collapse actually ever does happen, there’s going to be a big jump in deaths during childbirth. C-sections would no longer be available to so many but the infants would be in many instances too large for the women to bear them naturally.

How a woman gives birth isn’t as important as how she gives life.

Gee Kate, it was either have a c-section or die in my case...

That was my story as well, although I’d been on Pitocin for 30 of the 36 hours I was in labor, and my daughter was having heart issues she was so tired of the ineffective later.

I’m sorry you had to go for longer. It was hell, and if they’d forced me to go ‘natural’ — I, and my daughter, would have died.

Very scary, isn’t it? I was so tired that all I could say was ‘somebody please, help me’. For a long time, we were worried that he may have had some oxygen deprivation, but he is ok. My mistake was going to a Family Medicine Doctor instead of an obstetrician. I know many Family Medicine Doctors are quite competent.....but mine wasn’t in that category. I did continue going to the OB that delivered my son. Glad your birth experience turned out ok for you and your daughter. I just get incensed when people pretend that C-sections are only for convenience.

I was crying after a point. And I had this dumb FEMALE obstetrician lecturing me on how terrible c-sections were. Finally, when the next doctor came on duty, he threw a fit, yelling, “THIRTY SIX HOURS! WHY ARE YOU DUMB B*TCHES TORTURING THIS WOMAN!? MAMA IS SMALL, BABY IS BIG. WE’RE CUTTING HER OPEN!”

Seriously, there was a bit of a feminist agenda going on with the female obstetrician and the labor nurses.

Twenty minutes later, I was a brand new mother, with a beautiful baby girl — with a bruised forehead where she kept hitting my pelvic bones. She wasn’t making it out the ‘natural’ way without severe brain damage.

I still should have sued.

I am lost by the outrage toward her comment. She offered her opinion that avoiding vaginal birth was lazy in her case. It is her opinion. She isn’t condemning anyone else for it.

When did Freepers become so hypersensitive?

Wow! REALLY GLAD you both are ok! When my new OB came in to check the staples, he asked if I noticed that he had signed his work ; ) So sad that it hurt to laugh back then! He was great and I stayed with him for years.

I'm going to say something snarky, not because I mean it (I don't, it's a woman's call not mine) but because it's a softball: It's easy to call women who get a C-section "soft" when you treat your vagina like a clown-car.......

There , I said it, and didn't mean it but would HATE myself if I didn't take the opportunity to bash a member of the "Walking Wood" at every opportunity.

LIBTARD STUPID! I’ve had both types of births. There comes a time and point no amount of labor will push a baby out.

My first 1 I had full labor, he was a big baby, so he couldn’t be delivered except via C-Section. I just watch my grand daughter’s mom give birth, 14 hrs of the roughest labor you can imagine, with them pumping her full of who knows what kind of drugs. BP keep falling, she shiver and shook like some one dumped her in a bath tub if cold water and ice cubes.

Libtard sister played on cell phone ran when the pain got bad, dad and I were there wiping her fevered face and coaching her. I can read those labor monitors, she peaked at 5 cm, more drugs, a fever so needed Tylenol and Antibiotic. At 7 cm her labor flat lined. More drugs. At 9 cm they finally called for the doc first 1 she’d seen in 14 hrs. Took them over an hr to set up for the C-Section.

If not for C-Sections many women and the baby would die.

I’ve thought about that. Human evolution took a weird turn with the difficulties of giving birth. If we are a creation, then that’s really fouled up. I mean, my dog makes his own Vitamin C, but I can’t. Hmmph. ;)

Just another simple factor in we didn’t descend from apes. Or our body processes would be more parallel.

Why not dogs or cats they all get kidney and bladder infections/stones, lung cancer etc. But it’s more rapid, and near always deadly.

Nor were we born to be Vegan. Even apes require protein, most in the form of small rodents and bugs. We require it in greater quantity thus we eat beef, pork, and other larger protein animals like fish. We have allergies to some of it, they don’t.
