When I was browsing my Facebook page, I came across to this post.
This reminds me of the time when I had my daughter. I won't forget the moment when the doctor told me that I needed a C-section. I was so scared and I cried because I don't want to be cut open. I never had a surgery before so I was scared to death.
My C-section wasn't plan. It was an emergency because of CPD (Cephalopelvic Disproportion) wherein the baby's body or head is too large to fit through mother's pelvis. Basically, it was because of my small pelvis. I did tried to push but no luck. She won't come out and I don't want to take a risk and I just gave up. I felt like I was a failure. I felt cheated with the whole birthing experience but I just kept reminding myself that my beautiful baby girl is all that matters.
I do have a scar but it reminded me that I have a beautiful baby and she was delivered safe. It is my badge of motherhood and I'm proud of it. That scar saved my life and that of my daughter.
Giving birth is a scary and terrifying for me but it was an amazing feeling when you get to hold your child for the first time. Going through childbirth makes you brave either way and we should celebrate it no matter how it happens.
The C-section was the safest thing for me and for my daughter. I wouldn't change a thing. No regret.
I was one contraction away from needing an emergency c-section with my first child, and I DID need an emergency c-section with my second. His heart rate kept dropping too low and I couldn't dilate past 8.5cm. It was very scary for me too!! But totally worth it to save my baby :)

I love this!!
ReplyDeleteI had an emergancy c-section just 3 & 1/2 months ago so it's all too familier.
I'm also so disappointed I didn't get a natural birth so this post really spoke to me. I'm a new follower now :)

I think there is too much negative on C-sections, you often hear positive sides to it. That post says it straight. A woman is no less a mother because they didn't have a natural birth. They are a mother for laying it all on the line for their child.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from xoxoRecbecca's hop. Have a great weekend.

I really love this post. I had 2 c-sections and safety is so much more important. C-section deliveries do receive so much negativity from certain individuals who think differently. Have a nice weekend Anne.
ReplyDeleteI just had a c-section for the same reason as you. I pushed for 2 1/2 hours with no luck and thats when the doctor gave me the news and I as well cried at first. Now I am much more thankful to have my child here and it didn't matter how he got here.

This is a great post. I was able to give birth naturally but I know plenty of mothers that have had C-sections and they are truly remarkable. Just the pain and discomfort after ... Fortunately like you said, it's all worth it!

I had to have a csection and I just love that saying. I had high blood pressure and it was getting dangerous for me. I am so thankful csections are an option.
