The C Section Guilt

One of the least talked about pregnancy topics - Guilt after C section. Every pregnancy is different, so is every delivery. My body has created a miracle, yet I did't feel proud. Instead, I felt a void, like my body is faulty.

I could hear all the silent whispers telling me that I am weak and ill. That I was not healthy enough, that I was not courageous enough, that I was not perfect enough.

Today I decided to kill the strongest voice of those whispers, my own mind, which has somehow become my most judgemental enemy. They say women are women's worst enemy. And it has never been more true.

While sickness is part of everyone's life, it isn't talked about as loud as health. More than the physical scar, the guilt after undergoing a c section cut me deep.
