I never gave birth vaginally. I guess that's a bad thing.

I'm not a very good person, people would argue about my sanity, and I'm just really out of touch right now. Also, my kids think I'm a TERRIBLE mother.

Do you think I would have been more empowered if I'd have given birth vaginally?

P.S. I have to say, though - my karate instructor DID give birth vaginally. But I could still probably kick HER a**, although I never would try, since she weighs about 60 pounds less than I do. Gee, maybe if I had given birth vaginally I'd be thinner. Think?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
