This is so beautiful to read, especially as I am three months post partum with my second baby who was a caesarean birth, while my first was a very drawn out and fairly challenging vaginal birth. Both of them were empowering and both of them brought up healing for me. I don’t feel like I didn’t birth my second... if anything I feel almost more empowered by it because I feel like I had to really work hard to be in my body and stay grounded throughout... so much surrender and trust needed!! Thank you so much for sharing and thank you to Kelsey for sharing this article and bringing it to my attention. X
Brilliant as always. I’ve been trying to use language like “Cesarean birth” or “birth by Cesarean” to empathize that it is BIRTH and not just a surgery or procedure, but “abdominal birth” is even better.
