Something a little different this week - my very first solo episode! - not long after my eldest has turned 4, and I look back over my two cesaerean section births. I know c sections receive a lot of negative press so I am always anxious to reassure women they can also be truly beautiful birth experiences.

Trigger warning: this episode contains mentions and/or discussion of trying to conceive, reduced movement, vaginal assault and vaginismus.

Ultimately, I had two very positive c section (abdominal) births and hope sharing the story is useful - I know I found positive c section stories useful and reassuring ahead of my experience. Despite covid and lockdowns and all of the crazy consequences of that during my first birth, I still ended up with a positive birth experience.
