No, you definitely didn't miss out on anything by not having a baby naturally. It is common to feel the way that you do, though.

I had a natural birth (with an epidural). It was painful, but either way you still have your little bundle of joy. You just aren't as sore or as limited as someone might be with a C-section.

If there was even an inkling of a chance that I would need to have a C-section, I would have it done in a heartbeat to never have to go all the way through labor just to need one anyways.

I always watch A Baby Story on TLC and always wondered why some of the mothers would subject themselves to hours and hours of pain and labor when a C-section was imminent.
