How to love your body again?

A few weeks ago I posted my birth story, if you read it you know it did not go as planned...long story short I never went into labor and had to have a cesarian.

I’m almost 4 weeks PP struggling to “love” my body. When I was pregnant I was so proud and loved my body for what it was doing. However since my body didn’t even go into labor, I didn’t get the chance to feel any contractions and try to have a natural birth like I wanted, I’m struggling.

It gets to the point that at night I’m crying because I know I SHOULD love my body, it gave me my beautiful baby boy, it produces more than enough food for him. BUT it couldn’t even do what it was designed to do, I feel so betrayed.

Any suggestions on how to be okay (not even necessarily in love) with my body after an unexpected cesarian?
