Read other letters about this article
I really enjoyed this article. As a mother, I totally identified with the author and I thought it was pretty brave of her to talk openly about the very personal ravages of childbirth! Likewise, I remember my midwife telling me at 6 weeks post partum that it was okay to have sex again if I wanted to (as I recall, my reaction was more "yikes!" than "let's go").
To those readers who complain about the author's tone or her medical experiences, I'm guessing that you've never given birth. Her doctor sounded like pretty much every other ob/gyn in the country. To echo another letter writer, I was happy not to be hearing about epidurals and c-sections.
To those readers who complain about too many articles about motherhood, children, childbirth, etc., I guess I would just remind you that you have a choice. You don't have to read articles that don't interest you. I haven't noticed a huge number of family-centric articles on Salon, and I like them, so I look for them.
