I know there are a lot of people who look down on c sections or epidurals but without context this quote doesn't really come off like that to me. C-section vs vag delivery is really more of an issue for the woman if elective or the health of the baby/mom if emergent. Either way, it's between mom and doctor, no one else's concern.
I mean, "in a world where everyone chooses comfort my kid chose a natural birth" absolutely is looking down on women who opt for C-sections. He's Indian, we're very judgy about this sort of thing
Gotcha, I can see that. Your last sentence reminds me of a doctor i used to work with. Her parents were from India and when she would say something critical of herself or someone else she would generally do it in her mom's accent. A lot of people probably judge themselves in their parents' voices but don't notice because they have the same accent as their parents.
Are there people that opts for a c-section as a first option without a medical condition?
I have never heard someone choosing the c-section as their first choice. It is usually when there is no other choices.
I've heard that in USA, they can choose to just have it. Most other countries won't do cesarean unless it's medically necessary.
