There are still misconceptions surrounding C-section births. Because of this, moms who choose to have a C-section or had one due to emergency situations have been shamed by others.
Leave it to Amy Duggar to shut down these shamers once and for all in a new Instagram post.
Amy Duggar is a regular visitor on the show and brightens up every episode with her quirky personality.
Amy and Dillon's baby is just one of many new babies who joined the ever-growing Duggar family this year.
They also told fans that they planned on naming him Daxton. How sweet!
Amy announced the news on Instagram, explaining that she had to have a planned C-section.
"With my small frame and the fact that the Dr. Said theres an 85% chance I'd have an emergency situation. We went ahead and scheduled a cesarean to be on the safe side," she said in an Instagram post.
"I'm sure there will be negative comments. But I have to do what's right for my body and what's healthy for my son," she said.
Sadly, C-section shaming is common as some believe that it's taking the "easy way out".
This mom said she had a long and dangerous labor and wished she had planned one like Amy.
In many cases, a C-section birth is the best and healthiest option for mom and baby. People need to learn to respect that!
The family shared this update from the hospital and it looks like everyone is doing great!
