This is so sweet. At first I was upset I didn't get to have a natural birth I felt like I missed out on it but I own up to it because c section moms are so strong we did what we had to for our baby to be healthy.

Thank you. Made me cry... I was devastated I had to go in to an emergency c-section completely under anesthesia. I'm still healing emotionally 2 years later. Thank you, this really helps!

Had to favorite this post. I love it. It gets tiring hearing how "real mothers" wouldn't get a c-section.

I love this! I wish I could like this 100 times!

Beautiful!

❤️ this!

Thank you for writing this... Recently I've been feeling like I'm less of a woman and less of a mother like I didn't do anything to bring my son into the world. And I was starting to think that I'm going to feel the same with this pregnancy because I have to have another c-section with my daughter. Now I feel so strong as a woman.

Awesome. There are a lot of brave women here. Laying our bodies on the line for our babies.

I'm crying. I struggle every day with the fact that I had a csection and I know what matters is that my son is alive and well but it's still something so hard for me to cope with, not being able to hold him welcome him into the world ect., thank you for this!

That really made me feel so much better I currently have 4 beautiful healthy children and I'm 36 weeks with fifth I am being scheduled for c section due to the baby being footling Breech. I did feel like I felt myself because I've had four vaginal deliveries and this is my last one that is very likely to end up in a c-section. I am NOT okay with this by any means but as long as my daughter comes in world safely I'm OK. The risk are too high for her to be born vaginally so I will assume most of the risk myself I am her protector and I can handle it. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful poem.

Wow this is beautiful. I'm literally crying. I went through 72hrs of labor before my first C. I'm just so happy to have my boy here alive. I've felt so judged though by others like I'm broken or something. I'm now facing C number 2 and this helps so much. Thank you thank you thank you. ;,(

I wanted to bump this for any new c-section mom's

Very well written! Thanks for sharing x

Love this! :)

I am so glad this had touched so many women! I wrote this after a friend posted about how "outragious" the c-section rate was and we need to get back to the right way of having babies. So instead of telling her to shove it, i wrote this
