Jen and Bethany unpack the stigma surrounding C-sections: where it comes from, why it persists, and how we can start to dismantle it. Drawing from their own personal birth stories and professional backgrounds, they explore the cultural myths, language, and assumptions that contribute to C-section shame. The hosts discuss why many women feel judged for having a Cesarean birth and highlight the urgent need for more inclusive, honest conversations about all birth experiences. If you've ever felt like your C-section was misunderstood, minimized, or seen as "less than," this episode is for you.

Topics covered include:

• Why C-sections are often stigmatized in birth culture

• The emotional impact of feeling judged after a Cesarean

• How media and education shape public perception of C-sections

• Personal reflections on shifting beliefs around Cesarean births

• Why all birth stories deserve respect, support, and validation

Whether you're preparing for a planned C-section, processing a past one, or just want to better understand this often-overlooked part of birth culture, you'll walk away feeling seen, supported, and empowered.
