C-section birth is an interruption of key biological processes.
This is true whether or not your cesarean is planned, necessary or wanted.
So if you felt incomplete, like something core to your being was taken away or skipped over, your feelings are grounded in your biology.
You can’t just “get over” a process that has evolved for hundreds of thousands of years as an essential component of motherhood and the mother-baby bond.
So many important processes occur when v-birth is able to occur without interruption, intervention, or trauma…
Hormones are released that help mom and baby bond.
Hormones are released that help mom produce milk.
Hormones are released that are crucial for counterbalancing the hormonal crash that occurs within the first 24 hours after the baby is no longer inside the mother’s body. This makes mom more vulnerable to depression.
You can’t mindset shift your way through this.
Feeling better about your c-section is not a matter of having the “right” attitude about your birth.
And anyone who tells you this doesn’t understand the biology of birth.
❤️🩹 But all is not lost, mama.
I don’t want you to feel ashamed that you missed these things. Never.
And I don’t want you to feel hopeless.
I share all of this because I want to validate your experience.
And help you understand that your feelings are totally appropriate.
I want you to know that repair is always possible.
When we understand the impact of cesarean on our biology, we can try to give our body what it missed out on.
�(Even when a lot of time has passed.)
We can take action to reclaim the lost hormones - and the lost moments.
Want to learn how?
The Cesarean Mothers Circle is now enrolling.
This is a 4-month online support program for mothers who had emotionally difficult or traumatic cesarean births.
One of the things you’ll learn is the way cesarean impacts us. And you’ll learn how to repair - and complete - what was skipped or felt lost.
