What makes a woman more superior to another? Childbrith or nurture? - LIB reader writes

A LIB reader reacts to the poster shaming women who gave birth through C-section. Read below...
My name is Chioma Adibe Onwusika, I am an actress and a model. I am writing you as regards a post I read on your blog yesterday from "Disciples of The New Dawn" in quote "Face the Facts: you didn't really give birth, you caught a lucky break, please show respect to superior women who actually had what it took to get the job done".
This post states that women who gave birth naturally are superior to those who probably due to one medical condition or the other had no other option than to go through C-Section. I am 31 with two lovely daughters,  I have tasted the two sides of the coin.
I almost lost my first daughter whom I gave birth to through the natural way if not for God's grace. I was in labour for 18hours and I pushed for almost 5hours, by the time my jewel came out, she was white and pale, she didn't cry, the nurses and doctors beat her right, left and centre but she was so weak, I carried her, raised her unto God and prayed, miraculously she cried after some hours. We were in the hospital for 8days because she was receiving an antibiotic injection. chief doctor later apologised saying they would have given me the option of a C-Section.

I gave birth to my second baby through a C-Section because my water broke inside my stomach and I wasn't dilating, the baby's heartbeat was dropping, I was rushed to the theatre, I was given an epidural and was awake during  the whole process, the baby cane out, she cried her lungs out, three days later I carried my baby home.

The fact is that the simple truth remains this: one woman is given the natural ability to give birth by God, a gift.

The other woman is handed a team gifted by God with the ability to aid a woman without the natural ability to give birth safely, saving the lives of both mother and child, another gift.

This is why we are human beings, perfect in some, imperfect in others, but all working together to produce perfection and thereby focusing on the more important things of life; being real mothers by  successfully nurturing our children to adulthood.

BONARIO NNAGS said...

To me any woman can give birth to a baby, some even after attempts to remove the baby miraculously God preserves the baby, and a child is born.
So from my own perspective, a mother is one who took the pain and stress to nurture a baby patiently from childhood to adulthood.

Thank you for this write up. I always say all those who critize how a woman delivers Wetherby cs or the natural way av never bn pregnant. By the way I gave birth tru d natural process but watched and prayed for my baby's survival tru out his stay in d neonatal ward bcos of a similar situation to d write up.

Anonymous said...

Your points are quite valid and excused. The comparison should really be between women who opt for natural birth vs women who willfully and deliberately opt for CS without any identified medical condition. its one thing that you go to the hospital to give birth and the doctor then advises a CS. That is quite different from women who opt for CS even before they get pregnant. In actual fact, the argument can go either way depending on ones perception to life. I have heard women brag that they did it the natural way, on the flip side, i have heard other women who did CS brag that their Vajayjays are "intact" it all boils down to individual values and preferences. By the way, opting for CS is a lot more expensive...maybe, thats another thing to brag about.
Linda needs to ask men whose wives go natural if the "experience" is the same. if you are a married woman reading this and you have had 2-3 babies through natural birth, please ask your husbands if, it is still the same? You might need a lie detector machine....Good luck.

saw the above mentioned post from the disciples of whatever(name not important ),and i simply laughed and showed it to my husband.This article moved me to share my thoughts,the truth is this,there are some matters that people should never treat lightly,my adorable daughter will be 1 next month,i don't know how to upload pictures here,i would have put up the picture of my precious gift.when i was 8 months pregnant the doctor said my baby was breech.Funny enough i wasn't devastated or any such thing,a bit nervous though but i had all confidence,plus the doctor said either the child turns or we do a cesarean.My water broke 6 am May 11 and it was raining heavily,got to the hospital and d doctor said no dilation lets get to a certain level so he can turn the child for me to give birth (naturally ) .Long story short i was in labour for 24 hours and i couldn't take it anymore and i insisted on C.S. 29 hrs after my water broke.i had my daughter 2 hrs later and went through 3 months recovery.It was hell.The upside is Gods grace was with me and my daughter suffered no complications.The doctor was careless and i was ignorant.But without CS i won't be alive today.So I laugh people like the whatever disciples spew such hate speech.

Brilliant! Just brilliant! Why do women always drag out one another with the most brutal shade? Even the mother who did not do the nine- month time, who adopted her babies, is blissful in her world as well, enjoying the inestimable gift that can only come from God. Bottom line, the more awesome and challenging work is in being a mother: knowing, loving, nurturing, teaching, protecting your child.

I don't see why it's anybody's business how a woman chooses to handle her uterus and birth canal. It's her body and her choice. Why does anyone feel the need to explain to the world the reason for opting for a c-section? For goodness sake! It is rather unbecoming that at this age and time, people are still myopic about this sort of thing. It is a waste of time to start to reason with such people, the real gift here is the ability to conceive, carry a child and give birth with mom and child alive. Now that's the gift!

Thank you Chioma. God bless you. May the Almighty keep on helping you raise your daughters, as well as give you the grace to have more kids (By whichever mode - NATURAL or C-Section), if you so wish.
The real work begins after child-birth! Now, this is not to under-rate the importance of the process of child-birth.
Nobody should beat her chest because she was able to deliver through the natural birth procedure; it is the work of God. Chioma, let doubters ask those who have been through it.
That period in a woman's life (whether by natural method or by C-S), is that of life-and-death.
The scale could tip either way.
All glory must be given to God by any woman who goes through and comes out alive, be it natural or C-S.
Noone should gloat. It is God's doing.
Once again, Chioma thank you for voicing out the importance and the sanctity of the child-birth process (natural or C-S).
Thank you also for letting would-be mothers know that the real work begins after child-birth.
God bless you and your daughters. May the Almighty grant you all you need to raise them to be responsible citizens.

Anyone who says such trash about women who give birth through a c-section is a fool. The person has no idea what a c-section is. The important thing at the end of the day is that mother and child are alive and safe. How that happens is left to God who is the ultimate say in what process. I have 2 kids and both by c-section. They are both precious and each experience was peculiar. At the end, I am thankful to be here alive with my angels. I also pray for the people who are praying to experience d joys of being a mom. To each her own.

Well answered, she just spoke my mind. God bless you for this reply...actually although I wanted to have my child naturally, I ended up giving birth via C-section due to 'inadequate pelvic'. now do i blame God for making me that way. I experienced labour from 7am till 5pm, cervix dilated and all but my baby's head wasn't coming down to the birth canal. now do i act foolish and let us die? No, as a matter of fact, C-section is a more easier and faster way of childbirth, God is not stupid for giving mothers that option of C-section in fact it's the best thing to ever happen concerning childbirth..

insecure jobless women are the bane of our society sha. we should'nt even give this natural/csection issue the limelight. So they want a trophy? About we take it further, the women that give birth at home or in the forest the natural way without doctors or midwife or epidural are the true women, is that enough, or the women that give birth in water? where does it end? I gave birth to all my 3 kids via c section so I am not going to let one internet troll diminish my view about myself...

Anonymous said...

Fa fa fa foul *in zebrudaya okoroigwe's voice* No woman in this planet earth is superior to another woman in terms of childbirth. I had my 3 children through normal delivery. It was not easy for me cos I had a 3rd degree tear which was repaired. If another woman had their baby through cs just like most of my friends did , then it does not make me more superior than them. All glory be to God that their lives are saved which is d most important thing.

God bless you Chioma, these utterances are reasons why women loose their babies and sometimes even their own lives. They do not want the society saying they gave birth through CS. Not dilating, breached baby, heart rate dropping are few of the many reasons women get operated upon. I doff my hat to every mother, no style of birth is painless.

As a father of 2 wonderful children(1 girl, 1 boy), my wife was in labour for 2 days when my wife was about to give birth for the girl.....its was one of the traumatic moments of my life. A specialist was then called in and suggested CS...within 45 min, the baby was delivered with umbilical cord tied around her neck...only God knows what would have happened if we had insisted on Virginal birth. I learnt a valuable lesson when she became pregnant again with the 2nd child and did not even think about VB...she had CS and both mother and child are fine without any trauma. It does not matter if the delivery is CS or Virginal birth, as long as the Mother and Baby are fine...The most important thing is to be able to take proper care of the wonderful gift of life.

It is only a shallow minded person who would think of a woman inferior/superior based on Childbirth as posted in the blog.
Most women, in this part of the world, don't just walk in and pick the option of C-Section, in most cases, it is a last resort to save mother and child. Different life threatening situations prompt people into taking this option, ranging from prolonged labour to fibroid blocking the neck of the cervix which makes it impossible for the baby to pass through the cervix.
What would we rather have? Women who would lose their lives and that of their babies due to ignorance and wanting to please others, or save the life of mother and child through C-section?

Unknown said...

i personally think in the case of a medical condition whereby the lives of mother and the unborn child are at risk, then C section should be considered. But let me also state that some women deliberately under go C-section to keep their vagina from widening.. i think that article was referring to such women..

Unknown said...

Most women that have their babies through cs doesn't always opt for that, certain situation may arise during childbirth and the only solution to save mother and child would be a C section. I had my baby through a C section bcos he wasn't properly positioned, he was in the complete opposite position for childbirth, I tried all i could to make sure i had him through normal delivery but when i realized the risks involved i had to agree to a C section. Am glad i took the right decision at the right time. I and my baby are alive and well to the glory of God.

mrsO said...

Chioma u re a super woman! It's absurd for a woman to presume she's better than other mothers because she gave birth without C - section. Actually I appreciate God Almighty for giving women another option for childbirth. Many died after long hours of labour n pushing. It's only a little minded person who can suggest such. It's like saying getting pregnant through IVF makes d baby less human. Mtcheew! #idleness

#TINYDROPSOFTEARSINMYEYES# God bless u Chiomimi, ur motherhood narration has said it all, was too weak when i saw that lame post about women superiority judging from how childbirth happens, am pregnant with my first baby just 2 months after my wedding and what my eyes is seeing cannot be explianed, not to talk of how God will see me through my next 7 months, a woman painfully carries a baby for 7-9 months as the case may be, then God willing gives birth normally or by CS and sees heaven and earth either way then 1 insignificant person will say 1 woman is superior to the other? Not fair or even right, its like saying babies that completed 9 months inside are better babies than those that came out 7 months for 1 reason or the other? NOT RIGHT! ALL MOTHERS ARE EQUAL IN CHILDBIRTH IN GODS NAME! QP.

God bless this lady for the post, growing up a child in the way of the Lord is what matters most, when the child misbehaves 2morrow no one will ask how the child was delivered, the only question will be who gave birth to this child.. so whether the child's delivery was normal or through a Cs section it doesn't really matter...

Unknown said...

This is the sweetest tin ave read in recent times... I totally agree withh you! and God bless ur children!

veeumachi said...

I seems not to understand the basis of your argument. The question is 'what makes a woman more superior to other- childbirth or nurturing'. Just one out of the two not all this story!

God bless you Chioma. I had my children, 2 boys thru c-section. I went to the hospital post dated for the first, I was induced and finally had to be delivered thru a c-section. For the 2nd, i was equally post dated and had to settle for a cs. In my opinion, however a baby is delivered is irrelevant, wat matters is having a safe delivery.

nonye said...

@sarah ur obviously still laid back in ur thinking. What is wrong with opting for c section?

Anonymous said...

My dear take it easy. Some women actually opt for CS. Maybe you have never encountered such but overseas it's very common. Some women just don't want to go through the pains and funny enough some don't wanna lose the tightness down there. Google is ur paddy

Do not insult sandra for airing her opinion,its not necesssary and yes these days women choose their delivery dates,walks into the hospital and have their painless CS with epidural,infact my neigbour gave birth to her last kids that way after almost losing her life while giving birth to her first child,i gave birth to my 3kids vaginally and saw hell cos i was induced at each delivery,if i was wiser then i would have opted for CS and epidural and saved myself from that kind of torture! But at d end being a mother lies in bringing up a healthy and respondible child not in the way you gave birth!

Nice one bruv!

You don't know what u are saying. Have u ever had a feeling of being over fed for just 6 hours. Now compare it to a woman who carries another human being for days or months.

NMaa said...

It is d same. Just start kegel's exercise after birth ur pelvic muscles will b bk.

Shut it anonymous!! Some women request for it and Sarah you should respect other people's choices.

Nice write up Buh av seen some ladies talk about how dey are going to have a CS instead of pushing cos dey feel pushing is old fashioned and uncivilised. I believe dat pic from yesterday was actually meant for does ladies with dis orientation

ary said...

She didn't need to justify herself to any idiot who thought giving birth through c-section was less of a woman, such person is a bigoted idiot.

Chi chi said...

Bitch calm down, linda does not give award for he most mean comment.

Now run a lot and please wash the back of you arse with fen fresh cus it stinks from here?!

toskolo said...

The post was a stupid one, tell me who will not want to just have her baby alive and healthy no matter what has to be done. I was in labour for 10 hrs and eventually I had to go through CS because my baby was 4kg and she wasn't moving down n I was getting tired cus I was short of blood, I felt the pain of labour for 10 hrs only dat I dint push her out myself. So let someone now tell me I am less a woman.

That's one despicable poster and as a medical doctor I can't imagine. Sadly I didn't see it. Wrong education increasing maternal and fetal deaths . There is nothing wrong in having a cs; it's could be a matter of life and death. That's why it's called operative and non operative delivery. All births are natural. Please be informed and opt for an operative delivery if necessary. Thank you.

Hmmm Linda This is a record breaking story.....never would I have thought all LIBers would agree on one story.....We must toast to this brethren......
Back at the ranch....Some folks are so proud of their ignorance and come on social media and flaunt it unashamedly ......CS three handsome smart boys.... My first almost lost his life because his mom was trying to be a real woman by pushing for 12 hours and gave him asphyxiation (He was in the incubator for 12 days on antibiotics , oxygen and feeding through tubes, because he ate and inhaled his own poop.). CS? Not a problem . I will do it over again to save my life and theirs....CALL me less of a woman, it's ok.LOL

Chi chi, may God bless you for that epic response. Willy Witch must be a very sad soul.

And who says CS even with all the epidural in the world is painless. I guess u have to go thru ir to understand its not a walk in the park. Do not form an opinion on something u have not experienced.

Unknown said...

This is a no no no for me, both set of women are given the natural abilities to give birth naturally. Whichever way it comes, totally and entirely God's gift. This really bring tears to my eyes.This modern day and time! Please, nobody should even go there.

Anonymous said...

I'd like to remind this ewu that it takes weeks to recover from a CS, from someone whose had the two I know which was "easier"

Anonymous said...

My thoughts exactly. Worse still I've heard of mothers/mothers in law refusing that their daughter/daughter in law gets a CS. Apparently it can be a source of shame. And maternal death is perfectly acceptable to these people; boggles the mind

Anonymous said...

Ermm no offense but anyone trying to justify themselves and writing thesis about this must possess a sense of inadequacy or low self esteem about childbirth. Not everything deserves a response please people.

As judgmental as the poster is, we are all guilty of judging others for things that we have graciously been given as gifts from God and they haven't.

Unknown said...

CS or vaginal Birth does it raise argument in dis 21st century? The end point is mother n baby re healthy n the ability to nurture d child in a way he/she ll give joy to d parents.

Some ppl.go.jst open mouth talk yada yada yada.C section o normal delivery.the fact is u went thru thick and thin carry the load for 8 or 9 gud months.who cares if u jst spread ur legs and dint even push or u go and b sectioned.wat matters is the lives of both mother and baby.most go to struggle to hav a safe delivery and due to prolonged labour and weakness of both mother and child end up giving birth to babies who end up having S.B.A(Severe birth Asphitzia)

Moi, 4 births 4 cs. The first one emergency, the last 3 elective. All kids doing very very well. Their momsi, moi, doing exceptionally well. God bless LUTH for always being there.

Unknown said...

Experienced the two and I must say they are the same. My first son was born via CS while the second was born via normal delivery.I still love them nuts.
They are God's gifts and it matters not how they decide to come. What matters most is that they came after all.
God's blessings are awesome @ all times!

Anonymous said...

is a woman who adopted any less or the child that was adopted? not to talk of one who was pushed out or pulled out? please.

raising the one that God gave you, however He did, is the most important.

the ones that push out naturally and then abandon nko? or the ones that pick up the abandoned and nurture to adulthood?
