She is UNNECESSARILY choosing pain for NO OTHER REASON than to be in pain (according to the info in the post - again, if she did it for baby’s health benefits this would not be my stance) and it’s being lauded.

I’m going to run a marathon with two good ankles. Great - it’s hard enough already. Oh wait, let me break my ankle with a hammer so people will be MORE proud of me for running it with smashed bones even though there is NO BENEFIT to adding that additional VOLUNTARY SELF-INFLICTED suffering.

Does that clarify it? Yes, if you have a goal and get injured, or have additional challenges and choose to push through them, that’s great, but to cause yourself pain and harm without reason or benefit should not be seen as something to be proud of.

You’re still entirely missing the point. I hope for your sake you’re just attempting to be intentionally inflammatory, and not that you’re truly this ignorant.

Duh, of course. But way to miss my point entirely.

It’s his daughter, but why be proud of someone for choosing unnecessary pain? If he were proud of her choosing natural birth because of the health benefits it imparts on the child fine, but it’s like saying I’m proud of you for running a marathon with a broken ankle. He’s not proud of the act, he’s proud of her suffering.

I’d like to think there’s a lovely evil cheese plate and demonic crudité on this sideboard.

Just the one? There’s so many to choose from though!

Thank you. I’m sorry it happens to anyone. There’s truly no reason it should.

A nurse waited with me until I came around and basically treated me for shock. I had orange juice and some sort of crackers and a blanket until I stopped shaking. They had me get up VERY slowly to make sure I didn’t get dizzy or throw up again. Eventually I was able to get dressed and drive myself home. Spent the rest of the day curled up on the couch with a blanket and hot water bottle sipping tea. It totally sucked.

There’s a Mexican restaurant near me that serves a cocktail with fried crickets as a garnish like that. It’s actually pretty good. They taste like corn nuts.

I vomited in the exam room and passed out. I think they finally realized I wasn’t kidding.

Inverted…? I suppose it could be accurate.
