Stop and think!

Stop and think a moment…
Has anyone ever heard a women saying I had a natural birth because…
The contrary is very true though. Women who have had a caesarean either by desire or unwanted but necessary always feel justified in explaining to others why.
I found myself doing this over and over and now that I’m aware of it I still do it but with very different reasons attached to it.
What is it that makes us feel we need to justify ourselves?
Our society.
This is why I have created the VBACSA group to try and debunk some myths as well as to support and honour women.
I think all women are amazing, caesarean or vaginal deliveries, because it takes guts and determination to go through with either choice.
I’m proud of my pregnancy stripes (stretch marks) and my birth wound (c-section scar) as well as my vaginal after caesarean. I am a true warrior woman!
I believe that each birth I had defines me as a women and each kid I had defines me as a mother.
Woohoo to all you fabulous warrior women.
Do something to honour yourselves and the experiences life has bestowed on you, for you are stronger, more beautiful and infinitely more wise for it!
Love and delight
