After my first emergency c-section, I had a lot of guilt & resentment towards my body - I felt like it had failed me. It took months, if not years, of processing & healing to recognize that this was how it was meant to be. I had nothing to be ashamed of. Undergoing a major abdominal surgery was NOT the easy way out. Dealing with the post surgery complications was NOT the easy way out. Managing the pain & hormonal shifts was NOT the easy way out. Attending to your newborn while needing help to move, hold the baby, or sit up was NOT the easy way out. Experiencing the pulling, numbness, and tugging of your scar years later will NEVER be the easy way out. All 3 of my blessings were brought into this world via csection, and finally, I can proudly say that I wouldn’t have done it any other way. ♥️ #canadianmom #thebump #csectionawareness #csectionmom #postpartumjourney
