You are totally right and that article is so good! Every birth is special and unique and we should all feel very proud of ourselves for the sacrifice we made. In my opinion, c-section mamas are much more brave than any other mamas out there!<br /><br />(I have actually been planning to write a blog post about this...maybe I will do it now!)kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01036681846580798894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6888377611890763614.post-69645145678520262522011-11-16T16:52:50.650-08:002011-11-16T16:52:50.650-08:00I found out after i got pregnant with my oldest so...I found out after i got pregnant with my oldest son that i had fibroid tumors at the base of my uterus. there were 2 of them. the doctors watched them they didn't seem to be growing or causing any pain. i was induced at 39 weeks. i was in labor for 12 hrs and not progressing past 2 cm. The doctor decided it best to have a c-section due to some other complications. After my doctor went in to get Tristan, they saw why i never progressed. The fibroid tumors were blocking the baby from entering the birth canal. she told me that if i had been living in earlier times, me and the baby would have died. I am thankful for modern medicine. i recovered very quickly from my c-section. My second c-section was much more eventful. i knew i would have to have a c-section because of the previous fibroids. the section went fine...but 3 days after i got home, my incision came open and 6 inches of my intestines were exposed. i had to have emergency surgery to clean my inerds and put me back together. i spent 1 week away from my 5 yr old and my new born baby. it was hell! we don't know why this happened...it was a 1 in a million chance of it happening. Yeah, it happened to me! Having a child is the gift...not the manor in which the baby arrived. i am sorry you didn't get your uneventful birth...you do what you gotta do to get your baby when it is the right time. it was the time for cheetah, though she arrived so early. take pride in your scar! I do! love you cousin!Nylinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132960106903767384noreply@blogger.com
