## Caption

As we know it, April is Cesarean Awareness Month and as a mama who brought two babies earth side through cbirth twice, this month is an important one to highlight for myself and so many.

Through it all, I heard comments about how I was taking the “easy” way out or I felt shame & judgement around whether my birthing experience was legitimate because it wasn’t natural. 

It took me a while to understand that my body didn’t fail me, it did exactly what it needed to to keep my babies safe and protected. And while I felt this tremendous amount of guilt, I had to physically endure a pain that was like no other. Recovering from a major surgery and caring for a newborn is NO walk in the park. 

Just remember all moms need to feel seen and supported but most importantly celebrated for the warriors that we are. 🫶🏽
