I too was talked into being awake for my c-section against my better judgment and concur. Some places, they do most c-sections under general anesthesia. Personally, I would still much rather a c-section than the alternative. But although I love my kid it was still the worst day of my life.
There’s so much talk about population decline. It’s true that a lot of it is economic and due to poor supports for families. But I think at least some of it (more than society is willing to acknowledge) has to do with the fact that lots of women want to avoid the horrors of pregnancy and birth. Which is entirely rational, IMO.
