Cesarean Birthing Message Board
Though medical circumstances dictate the reasons for a cesarean birth, you may blame yourself for "doing something wrong." Like many women, you may experience guilt. Many cesarean mothers go through a grieving process for the birth experience they didn't have. These feelings are typical, and you need to work through them. Keep in mind that a cesarean is a sensible alternative, a form of birth that helps deliver the healthiest baby possible. Be proud of yourself, your partner and your baby. You have successfully coped with many difficult things. Right from the beginning, you've made a decision to do what's best for your child. Celebrate the birth of your baby and the beginning of your wonderful new life!
On the Cesarean Birthing message board, you'll meet other women who understand how you are feeling.
