This can help you understand why you needed this procedure this time. The most important thing is the health and safety of you and your baby. Accept that you can't control everything. You cannot control unexpected events that sometimes make cesarean birth the safest route. Allow yourself to feel all the emotions.
Every mother feels a wide range of emotions after birth.
Some of these rollercoaster feelings are due to shifting hormones. Give yourself permission to cry, to laugh, to experience the full range of your feelings. Talk about how you feel. If negative feelings like anger and depression persist, talk with a professional or join a cesarean birth support group. March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation National Office 1275 Mamaroneck Ave.
