April is CS Awareness Month
CS is one of those things that society loves to hate. Yet many times they are necessary and they save many lives. Other times mom choses to have one and that’s ok too. But society makes us feel like we failed as mom’s when we have a C-section.
I had my first child via CS and I cried for MONTHS because I felt like my body let me down. I had planned a homebirth. Laboured for days only to get to hospital and find baby was breech. We did a CS as I was not psychologically ready to push and doc didn’t seem confident about breech vaginal birth.
After a few months I accepted that I did birth. Pushing a baby out is not what makes a birth. Pregnancy, process of getting the baby and post partum is what births both a baby and a mother. (There are other ways too).
My body did not fail me.
Your body did not fail you.
What’s your CS story?
