- Some mothers say questions about vaginal or Caesarean birth can bring back difficult experiences and emotions.
- The article argues that mothers should not face stigma or judgment based on how they gave birth.
For some mothers, the question of whether they gave birth naturally or by Caesarean section is not casual conversation. It can bring back difficult experiences and emotions that remain hard to forget.

But the method of delivery should not determine how people judge a mother's experience or ability. Cosmetic entrepreneur Tyra Kamaruzzaman is among those connected to the call to end that stigma.
