We close the month of April (Cesarean Awareness Month) with Natalie's first birth experience.
She was preparing for and dreamed of having a natural, vaginal birth. After a false reading on her baby's health, a non consented inducement, and 64 hours of non medicated labor ending in an emergency c-section. There was nothing left but grief. Although relieved her baby was earth side it didn't change her grief, her loss of something she believed to be sacred.
Can you relate mama?
Birth is beautiful, It can also be scary, it's empowering and it changes us in more ways than we understand. What doesn't change is the common goal we all have, Vaginal or c-section, to bring healthy lives into this world, HOWEVER that might be.
Your scar is a constant reminder of your story and everything you endured to get where you are today. And it is still sacred.
