I am a C-section mom
I found this very touching and thought some of you might too. :)
I am a C-section mom. My son was not born in a hospital room with a doctor telling me to push. No one held my legs up and no one wiped my sweat away. My son was born in an operating room, the doctor pulled him out of me while my husband held my hand.
I am a C-section mom. I did not see my son come out crying. He was not placed on my chest to hold the first time. My husband did not cut his cord and I did not get skin to skin while they wiped him off. I stared at a sheet as my son came into this world. I think I heard his cries, but with all the medications I barely remember a thing. My doctor cut his cord and he was placed on a table for the doctors to see first.
I am a C-section mom. I did not hold my son once he was born. I did not get to be there for him as he was brought into this world. My husband did not get to celebrate with me as we stared at the miracle we had made. My husband took my son with the nurses to the nursery and sat with him while he waited for me to come out of recovery. I didn't hold my son until he was two hours old.
I am a C-section mom. I did not walk out of the hospital the next day, I wasn't comfortable either. I didn't get up and walk right after my son was born. I can never lose enough weight to hide that I've had a baby. I had to spend three days in the hospital and three weeks before I was ever comfortable. I wasn't even allowed to walk for twelve hours and no matter how much weight I lose I will always bare a scar of when my son was born.
I am a C-section mom and I'm not sorry. I will not be made to feel bad. I will not allow people to pity me for not having a natural birth. I did not give up on labor and I did not give in too soon. My first act as a mother was to selflessly lie down on a table and allow myself to be cut open. I am a C-section mom and I thank God every day that I got my child here, no matter how.
