“My daughter was a C Section after 5 days of labor. I’m in several groups, and there is a lot of talk about wishing our bodies didn’t fail. How a “traditional” birth would have been better, and how did we wind up here. I can tell you I didn’t plan on a C section. I didn’t want a C Section….but my body didn’t fail. This body that has seen surgeries, tumors, and incredible loss didn’t fail one bit. I may not have had some ideal birth, but any body that can make such a beautiful, funny, smart, blue eyed baby girl like the one I have been blessed with, did everything I needed it to. She’s alive, I’m alive, and no scar or procedure will take that away from me.”
