Agreeeee! I had a c-section and dealt with PTSD and shame for a year after. But my second birth was a scheduled C, and so beautiful that I wouldn’t want anything else. I’m proud of my cesareans and have no regrets.
#soproud that I eventually forgave myself for ‘failing’ at being a woman, and having two C-sections. And for realising that it doesn’t matter at all, and all that angst was a complete waste of time and energy.

I must say I’m upset that any woman could beat herself up about this. As someone whose twins would have died without a C section. Why on earth could this be considered a failure
-
I have to admit I find it baffling. Are we defined by our bodies? What must people who feel this way think about women who can't have kids at all, are they even women? :(

You shouldn't have to feel ashamed / disappointed about any of these things in the first place. Where do you think you got these messages from?

Myself. Absolutely only myself to blame. I’m a midwife, I KNOW it doesn’t matter. But some strange part of my brain, deep down obviously thought it did. I couldn’t look at my scar for over a year.

I hear that!!
such a waste of time, and utterly irrelevant now my healthy happy boy is 6. NCT drummed home the message that “natural is best” (aka no drugs, no interventions) leading to total c-section shame (with added bottle-feeding guilt) meeting the NCT mums after!Bedankt, Twitter gebruikt dit om je tijdlijn te verbeteren.
