Sometimes birth satisfaction is spelt c-e-s-a-r-e-a-n

Just a very quick post this evening - if you get a chance to read this birth story, posted on mothering.com, please do.

It's about a woman who had an extremely 'normal' birth with very few complications, and medical staff all around her satisfied with how it went.

Yet she was left feeling "violated, betrayed and abandoned" and describes it as "the worst experience of my life".

Why? Because she wanted (and had scheduled) a cesarean but her choice was not respected.
