Read My Personal Story

If you’re here, you and I have something in common: a C-section experience that left us feeling “broken.” While our stories might not be exactly the same, the longing to feel “normal” again is something we share. Let me tell you my story, and perhaps you’ll find the help you’ve been looking for.

I had an emergency C-section. We were almost through at 9 cm dilated when the midwife asked me to lie down so she could leave the room without worrying. It’s important to mention that I really didn’t want to, but eventually, I gave in and obeyed, feeling like I must serve the staff instead of the medical staff serving me.

At that very moment, my daughter turned, wrapping the cord around her neck. Suddenly, I felt an intense pain and immediately asked for an epidural. Before that, everything was alright. Yes, the contractions were intense, but I remember giggling because I thought the dentist or a migraine was worse! But when she turned and her head pushed against my lower back, I thought I would crack right open.

The only good news: I wasn’t put to sleep, so I was there for all of it. The whole trauma, under the artificial lights, in a room full of strangers. Even my partner wasn’t allowed in. My baby wasn’t shown to me before she was cleaned up, and when I finally saw her for three seconds, she was whisked away to my partner waiting in another room. An hour later, I held her. It felt like a lifetime.

The Emotional Challenges

The next day, when my parents arrived, I tried not to cry. I constantly felt like I was pushing my tears down. They didn’t understand. They said things like, “As long as the baby is fine, you should be happy. That’s all that matters.” But the forced happiness was hurtful, and I had to send them away.

For days, I worried it was postnatal depression, but it was something else. I felt like a failure. Having my baby enter the world through surgery felt artificial, not the natural rhythm I had imagined.

I continued for months, caring for her, sleeping when she slept, and at the same time, I felt numb, unable to relax or be present. My life was only about functioning, not enjoying.

The Physical Challenges

Physically, I couldn’t bear to look at myself, let alone touch my scar. My midwife urged me to massage it, but I could only manage to touch it briefly and apply some cream. It was a constant reminder of the trauma. The numbness and lack of sensation made me sick to my stomach. It felt as though a part of me was cut out, missing, or simply altered. I felt numb both physically and emotionally.

I also struggled with the lingering large belly. When I was pregnant, it was as if I was carrying twins, and after my daughter was born, I wondered if they had forgotten another baby inside. The belly and weight wouldn’t go away, and neither would the water retention.

It took me nearly a year to acknowledge that this wasn’t normal and that something had to change. When I finally reached that realization, I turned to unconventional methods, as I wasn’t ready to resort to medication and had no time for exercise. Thankfully, it helped.

The Spiritual Challenges

I felt as though something essential was missing from my journey, leaving me feeling incomplete and disconnected. The transition to motherhood seemed abrupt, lacking a deeper sense of purpose and integration. I struggled to reconcile my past self with the new role I had suddenly been thrust into. It wasn’t just about caring for my baby; I needed to find a profound, intrinsic motivation that went beyond external expectations. I longed for a deeper understanding and compassion for my experience, something that would merge my past and present selves into a fulfilling and joyful path forward. The important WHY was missing? My soul felt stuck, unable to find its way through the transition.

Transformative Self-Healing for C-Section Mums

I didn’t realize I could process the trauma mentally, emotionally, and physically, and begin healing on all three levels without years of therapy. It was a revelation! I discovered the power within me to activate my body’s healing capabilities, transforming my scar from a symbol of pain into one of strength. I learned to rewrite my story, to embrace my role as a mother with joy rather than fear or failure. I began to truly enjoy life, not just function through it.

This healing process also had beneficial side effects. It alleviated my new-mom anxiety, easing my constant worries about what could go wrong, whether my baby might get hurt or sick, or if I was making mistakes. I found confidence in parenting intuitively, becoming more aware of my choices and more present. I also reconnected with myself, rediscovering what I needed to feel good and healthy.

Over time, I even approached my pre-pregnancy body more closely. Initially, the emotional weight I carried turned into physical weight, as if I was holding onto everything from the outside that I couldn’t see from the inside. But at last, I found a way to free myself.

And don’t get me wrong—it’s an ongoing process, and I’m still learning and discovering new things every day. But the leap from being deeply troubled and stuck in c-section trauma to finding such ease and peace feels like a true miracle. What’s even more astonishing is how I didn’t realize sooner that all I needed was a bit of guidance to unlock my own healing potential.
