Post Cesarean Feelings

While there are thousands of women who have cesarean births and move on with no problems or negative feelings regarding their experience, there are just as many who are truly devastated or experience emotional as well as physical repercussions from their birth experience. The problem is many women do not feel that it is socially acceptable to talk about their dislike or negative cesarean experience since today they are very much the socially accepted thing to do.

A couple years ago I got involved with ICAN when I started to feel as though my cesarean (first) wasn’t necessary, and the more I learned about birth, hospital birth, inductions, and everything that goes with it, the more ANGRY I became. It ate at me. It haunted me. And some days, it still does. Though the “recovery” has gotten better, it is still difficult to think about, especially since that first cesarean lead to a second. Benjamin’s birth is a whole other story though.
Through ICAN I started to really feel like I had a purpose, like these were all things meant to be!
Then I started to write, Actually, I started this blog right when my revolution began.

Then I met Michele through ICAN and coming across her website online. I was fascinated by it. Art work, birth stories, all from women who felt the same as I did. A healing website for women to really express their true feelings without criticism.

This Wednesday night, February 3rd, 2010 at 10pmEST I am going to be having Michele, the founder of BirthCut.com on my Momotics Radio show to discuss her website, and post cesarean feelings and how we need to make post cesarean feelings more socially acceptable.
