    My folks used that one on me for four decades at least.

    “You’ve always been lazy … you were even too lazy to be born.”

    Her 2 pack a day cigarette habit and 4 cups of coffee a day and his constant drinking had nothing to do with it. It was because I made a decision as a fetus to make a doctor suggest her to have a c-section. And then as a fetus I made her agree to it.

    Fuck yeah I was a powerful perinatal creature.

    This meme doesn’t know what it’s talking about. You don’t avoid labor by getting a C-section.

    Yes, some moms get c-sections because their pregnancy is so high risk that it’s forced on them. There’s still a lot of other work involved - like recovery.

    Other moms get c-sections because they spend days in labor, struggling and pushing, and it’s reached a point where it’s high risk that a C-section is the best way to save the baby.

    So

    Option 1: Mom “avoided” the labor because the pregnancy had severe life or death complications.

    Option 2: mom did a fuckton of labor and the complications of birth forced them to have a C-section.

        Do do realize that when women are having a baby, it can be as short as 4 hours to as long as 72 hours right?

        If they get a C-section on hour 60, do you think they were doing fuck all during those other 59 hours?

      Option 3: medically induced “coma” and c-section at a planned time and date <—- this is not what most of us plebs get and insomuch as I understand the Hippocratic oath is wildly unethical.

        Pretty much. Those are extremely rare to get, and often because it’s something like the baby will literally die without this, or the person is rich as fuck.
