Embrace moments with your baby despite how your birth happens
I have seen many stories and read many stories of births not going as moms had planned. Just because you were not able to have the natural birth that you had planned does not make you less of a woman. Embrace the child that God has blessed you with. If you were are able to have a happy and healthy child enjoy the happy and healthy moments with that child and spend times making more joyful and beautiful moments together. Each day with your baby is a gift from God and you should treasure those days.
Some births do go way differently from what you predicted would have happened. It can be a disappointment, but the birth does not determine the relationship and moments you and your child will experience. There are adopted moms that may not have been a part of the birth that can still experience the love and joy of their child. It is not how you child came into the world that matters. It is about developing the connection with your child and spending the quality time with your child that creates the bond.
Vaginal Birth is Possible after a Cesarean Section
Many moms do not go into labor expecting to have a c-section. It does happen and it has been happening more frequently in recent years. There has been an increase in the amount of c-sections performed in the United States. Also, is the fact that for many years there has been the belief that once a woman has had a c-section she should always have a c-section, but there are options out there for women to have a vaginal birth after a cesarean (VBAC).
VBACs are not performed by all doctors because of the risk of rupture of the prior c-section scar. The fact is that it has happened in the past and the possibility of the scar rupturing is possible. However there are many moms that have been able to successfully have a VBAC. There are even a few moms that have had VBAC after have 2 c-sections. The risk of uterine rupture does increase with the amount of prior caesarean scars.
Several resources are available across the web with detailed information about having a VBAC.
