Hello, everyone. I came here as this is definitely a woman issue that men wouldn't understand. In 2011, I found out I was pregnant with my oldest daughter. I had a great pregnancy, and went in for an induction in October. I stalled at 4 cm for 2 hours and my dr automatically went to a cesarean. This caused issues after she was born. I didn't connect to her for weeks, and I hated myself for failing. In 2013, I found out I was pregnant again. I discussed a VBAC with the head dr at the clinic, who said go for it. However, none of the residents would discuss it with me. In February 2014, my second daughter was born via c-section. Again, I hated myself and felt like a failure. I couldn't breastfeed either girl. That added to my feelings of failure. To this day, I am insanely jealous of any friend who has a vaginal or can breastfeed. The mental issues caused by the cesareans have done so much damage. Can anyone else relate?
