This is my scar. *** This line is a daily reminder of the moment my daughter entered the world and will be with me forever. This mark represents 27 hours of natural labor, mass amounts of lost blood, half a dozen position changes, internal monitoring, and the loss of my entire plan for birth. These few inches tell the story of my daughters journey to us. Her heart rate dropping, my blood pressure spiking, and the race of 5 doctors into my room saying we have to get her out now! *** I was scared for her more than myself, and looking into my husbands eyes, I prayed that we both made it home when it was all over. *** I am 1 in 3. I am 1 of over a million women who will have 7 layers of skin, muscle, fat, and organs moved, cut, and separated to bring my child earth side. My story is one of love, sacrifice, extended recovery, and pain, but I would do it all again to bring my little light into the world. *** Some say cesarean section isn't "having a baby," but tell that to the countless number of us who tell this tale. It wasn't my plan. It wasn't ideal. It wasn't what we dreamed, but it's OUR WALK, and we are PROUD of it! *** Happy C Section Awareness Month to all the mommas out there that put it all on the "line" to birth their beautiful babies! #csectionscar #csectionmama #cesareanawarenessmonth #csectionbirth #motherhood #birthisbirth #birthisbeautiful #contentcreatorsofinstagram #blackauthorsandwriters #blackmotherhood #womenslifestyle #womenwhowrite #womenshealthmatters https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb0PX0zujEX/?utm_medium=tumblr

I am sharing my birthing experience video again in honor of Cesarean Awareness Month (link in bio for YouTube and go to pregnancy playlist). My experience was interesting because I was able to experience the midwife experience and also how it is to be at the hospital. Although my birthing plan did not go as planned, it was a transformative experience. I allowed myself to experience the different range of emotions for a year before I really shared my experience. No one really talks about how this impacts women on a emotional and spiritual level so I am glad more people are speaking out about it. I remember being angry for a while however I knew that there was a beautiful lesson to take away from it. It brought me back to the relationship with my womb. Also having my daughter in NICU (due to jaundice) was a stressful experience as a first time mom. It does not matter if parent has a child a NICU for 9 days (like me) or nine months, I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone, we all experience the same range of emotions. However I am blessed to have a beautiful healthy daughter who let me know early on that I cannot control everything. I learned the importance of surrender. Queen Afua's Sacred Women Book really supported me in grounding myself to this new experience. She also had Cesareans with her children and now she has a legacy with encouraging women to connect to and honor their wombs. I am grateful. #cesareanawarenessmonth #cesareanbirth #cesareanbirthisbirth #csection #csectionmama #childbirth #cesareansection https://www.instagram.com/p/CNXk71pJHHg/?igshid=1u6plduvm0fw9

 Even though it will never be flat again, my stomach’s still my favorite because it reminds me of my greatest achievement: my babies. -Isla Fisher . . . 📸 Pete Howson Photography . #SanDiego #InfraredLight #CSectionMama #MomBod #Confidence #SanDiegoModel #MomsOfInstagram #SelfLove #Silhouette #BeTheWildAtHeart #Motherly https://www.instagram.com/p/CDnZYh7nGMF/?igshid=6ntgatvjxide

Happy C Section awareness month! Our birth story was not easy or short and didn't go according to my ideal birth plan, but in the end there was a health baby and mama and for that I will be forever thankful. #worthit #csectionmama #practicallyperfectPT https://www.instagram.com/p/B-zsfwap82R/?igshid=1ghlabxt0vyal
