C-sections are REAL births.

This might seem obvious, but a lot of people don’t realize that they consider c-sections to be a lesser form of birth. That they are somehow inferior to those who have had vaginal deliveries. You are not a lesser mom because you had to have a c-section. Remember, you sacrificed yourself completely, you were CUT OPEN, so that your baby could have life. Be kind to yourself.

Read this earlier. Thought I'd share. I could have used this pep talk with my first child

@cclark289 @star_wars_freak_2010 @allyk.xmommy My first daughter was 7lbs 8oz and she was too big to fit through. Found that out after hours of miserableness. My pelvis just doesn't widen like it needs to. My son ended up being 10lbs. So there was no way that was happening. For most birthing/parenting choices I feel "to each their own" and try not to judge too much. So, I hate when people judge for something that most of us don't really have a choice about.

I had a c section twice first one baby was breach so I had no choice, second one I was going to try for a VBAC unfortunately my water broke and I didn't know it so it was over twelve hours before I knew it. So doctor gave me a choice of induction or csection but if I didn't give birth by morning I'd have a csection anyways. Figured since I wasn't really moving along very quickly I might as well get it over with so opted for csection. Now if I have another one it'll be automatic csection, which I'm not completely thrilled about but have accepted.

AMEN! you grew the baby inside of your body, doesn't matter how you delivered, its still birth. Csections are so much rougher than "natural" birth. No-one chooses to do this. It saves yours and your child's life.

Regardless of how you deliver your baby, C-section or vaginal, you are still a mother. Too many people have…

Regardless of how you deliver your baby, C-section or vaginal, you are still a mother. Too many people have misconceptions about C-section moms. Some is unintentional but many of these uninformed comments can be quite offensive and hurtful. And they are completely missing the fact, that the most important thing is that both the mom and baby are healthy and happy.👶🏽 Here are six things you should not say to a C-section mom. 1 ⃣ “Too bad you couldn’t have a normal birth.” Many cesareans are performed because of health concers or in emergencies to ensure the health of the baby, mom or both. But it doesn’t matter. There should be no shame or regret over the C-section. 2 ⃣ “A cesarean is way easier than a vaginal birth.” It’s major abdominal surgery and many moms have gone through hours of labor and pushing before the C-section. Postpartum after a cesarean is not easier or better. It’s different and both should be honored. 3 ⃣ “A c-section is an awful experience.” Why put the spotlight on negatives? Many women with twins or preeclampsia, understand in advance they may have cesareans. Let’s focus on the blessing of birth and baby. 4 ⃣ “Sorry you missed out on giving birth.” Please no more mom shaming. #noshame 5 ⃣ “You’re lucky you had a c-section…” Having a baby is an intense journey for any mom. It’s not lucky or better. A C-section is one way of giving birth, but the outcome is the same. You get your beautiful baby in your arms. 6 ⃣ “You’ll never have a regular birth next time.” Approximately 60 to 80% of women are able to have a vaginal birth after c-section or VBAC. Each pregnancy and delivery is unique, and we should celebrate moms. Stop the mom shaming and the insensitive comments! Did you have a c-section? Share your story in the comments below 💕
