What makes me sad for people is when they can't seem to keep the two separate, and they don't bond with their baby like they would have had their birth gone diffently. And I can't tell you how many times I was told that exact phrase "at least the baby is healthy and that's what matters". A woman's birth does matter as it's a very powerful event in her life.Nurse Lochiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137987823813922532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8568619474449091271.post-57505170854290009172007-10-21T21:44:00.000-05:002007-10-21T21:44:00.000-05:00Not here to give you a tongue-lashing.

But I do feel it is important never to say to a woman who has had a cesarean birth "at least your baby is healthy and that's what matters". The baby's health and the woman's birth are two different things, and she has the right to feel differently about them. But I do think though that there is a stigma on any type of cesarean - whether or not it was warranted - which is really too bad for the mothers who really needed them.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18170096397537292209noreply@blogger.com
