C section trauma ?

I was traumatized by my emergency c section for 4 years. It wasn't until the birth of my second baby that healed that part of me. Perfectly normal and if you need to, reach out for help or a birth reflections meeting to help heal some of that trauma x

Trauma affects everyone differently and we can all be traumatised by different things. How you're feeling sounds completely normal. Even though things went well, there was always the chance it might not have, which is what is sticking with you. Its also possible that you already experienced a trauma before this and the c-section was actually the trigger to the previous trauma, rather than being the actual trauma, if that makes sense? Trauma is a weird thing. C-sections are traumatic anyway because you are so vulnerable and it feels really horrible in that room. I've had 2 c-sections and the second 1 was no better than the first. I would suggest talking to someone about it as this may help. You may also need to address previous trauma if there is any. Just know that you're not on your own and lots of ladies are feeling this way also. X
