C Section

I had an emergency C section in March and I’ve been struggling with some feelings towards it. For example, I know it might sound silly, but I feel I am not entitled to say “I gave birth 6 weeks ago” or just “I gave birth” in general. I feel like I technically didn’t give birth, even though I tried and was in labour for days. Am I worthy of saying this?

Of course you are worthy!! I’m in the Same boat I know the feeling but we grew and created our beautiful babies of course we gave birth they just needed extra help don’t be so hard on yourself you’ve got this! Look at some positive after birth affirmations 🫶🏽

You created life and gave birth. Just in a different way

You 100% did give birth just via the sunroof! (Which I personally think is a very cute way to look at it!) I'm so proud of what my body went through leading up to the section in labour and even more so that it managed to recover from major surgery whilst caring for a new born. I hope you can start to look at it in a more positive light in the future. CBT may help retrain the way your brain feels about it. You are worthy xxx

Both my babies were born via emergency c section. I now look at my scar (currently 8 weeks pp with my second bub) and I think it’s the most amazing thing my body has ever been put through. It made me so much stronger as a woman, just the fact that I was able to go through major surgery, and be up and walking 8 hours later! Eventually, you may look at your scar and think it wasn’t the easiest way out but that’s how you brought your little one into this crazy world and that makes you one strong, amazing mama and you will learn to love your beautiful scar 🤍
