#bellybirth

[allintheirplace]

Three weeks postpartum and I’m slowly slowly starting to feel a little more like myself, not the same as the person I was before going in to have my fourth caesarean to belly birth our darling new son, certainly a changed person and I find that always happens with every birth. I find as I go through life that this happens with every big life event and sometimes even the small ones. You’re never the same and that’s okay. I spent a long time trying to go back to pick up the pieces of my broken self and hastily sellotape them back together but they would always fall apart again. I’ve learned over the years, through going to therapy and receiving bereavement counselling due to the loss of our much wanted son, that you sort of shift and change and just as the very cells that make you up are replaced many times over in your lifetime, that’s how it is with your perception of yourself, you’re ever changing.

I’m using this space on the internet to write about what I know. Right now I’m a mum winging her way through the complex and wonderful realm of motherhood, parenting and finding herself after pregnancy, birth, loss, postpartum and toddlerhood.

I am SO excited to get to snuggle with this grumpy little peanut today when I deliver his birth images!! <3 <3 Baby G threw his momma all kinds of curve balls with his arrival. Born ~2 months premature, and being in breech presentation meant that his mom spent many weeks away from home, delivered by caesarean and made many trips to the NICU to visit her little man. He is finally home, and doing amazing and I can't wait to see him later today!! <3 A huge THANK YOU to the Labour and Delivery staff at Victoria General Hospital for allowing me in to the OR to photograph this beautiful delivery for his family. <3 @vanislandhealth #myislandhealth #vancouverislandlife . . . . . . . #birthbecomesher #thebirthhour #hosptialbirth #preemiebaby #30weekpreemie #csectionbirth #csection #bellybirth #yyj #victoriabc #newborn #preemie #nicubaby #photooftheday #themonochromaticlens (at Victoria General Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/BraoUYZhnA2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5sadhsxqj393

S H O U L D E R T I P P A I N This is a common complaint after having a c-section. Caused by the disturbances inside your body during the operation, your bowels can slow down, creating excess gas. This presses on the diaphraghm triggering referred pain in your shoulder. The pain is usually describes as a deep pain and can vary in severity. Some people may be concerned if they experience it, but there are ways to help. Generally analgesia, like paracetamol, is not as effective as something that will treat the production of the gas -like peppermint. You might be offered peppermint cordial, peppermint tea or Colperin (a tablet form) to ease this. Peppermint has been known to impact milk supply if you are breastfeeding and because I get asked about this I consulted with a lactation consultant to weigh up benefits/risks. The advice was that you would need to be drinking buckets of tea fo it to become an issue, so should be considered to help if you experience this discomfort. Have you felt this after a c-section?

This C-Section Birth Photo Will Blow Your Mind No Matter How Many You've Seen

Hello world!! This incredible photo of BELLY BIRTH was shared with me by @ca_seasteele and the following are her words: "We would be honored if you would post this unique photo of our beautiful daughter Raya. My fiancé @thegoodmessage_ took this picture. Our doctor told us "OK take a picture" I said "I can't" and they all laughed. I looked at Ryan and he was in another world so I yelled "Ryan take a picture!" LOL and these are the results. It was all very surreal. She is such an amazing gift. This is my second #Csection. I hope this photo honors those before me and gives inspiration and strength to those #pregnant or to deliver in the future." #bellybirth #cesarean #birthisbeautiful #empoweredbirthproject #cesareanbirth A post shared by By @katievigos RN, Doula (@empoweredbirthproject) on Aug 29, 2016 at 8:29pm PDT When Cass was in the middle of her C-section operation to deliver her daughter, Raya, in 2016, her doctor urged her to take a photo of the baby as she was halfway out of her body. In the moment, Cass yelled for her fiancé, Ryan, to snap a photo, and what he captured is not only professional-looking, but extremely breathtaking. Cass shared the photo with doula Katie Vigos, who then posted the photo to her blog's Instagram page, Empowered Birth Project. Cass told Katie of her birth experience: "It was all very surreal. She is such an amazing gift. This is my second C-section. I hope this photo honors those before me and gives inspiration and strength to those pregnant or to deliver in the future." No matter how many C-section birth photos we see, we can't seem to get over just how incredible these births truly are. http://bit.ly/2r0tAaY

Powerful Truth by @SpiritYSol that must be shared far & wide: "Cesarean mamas- this one's for you. I hope you know that you are worthy. That you are a warrior. That you are brave and powerful and strong as f✨ck. I hope you know that birthing your baby on an operating table makes you no less of a mother. No less of a goddess. Your birth story is holy and that beautiful scar on your belly is sacred as sh✨t. You are worthy of praise and celebration, honor and admiration. I hope that you know it was worth it. Knowing this does NOT mean you can't mourn your dream. It does NOT mean "you and your baby are safe- that's all that matters!" It does NOT mean you can't wish things had gone differently. But I hope that underneath it all, you can find beauty in what was. What is. Your baby. Your birth. Your strength. Your healing. Your story. Your journey wasn't easy. Perhaps it unfolded much differently than you had hoped- perhaps it shook you to your core and left you feeling the immense weight of a "what if" and "why". Perhaps you're still wading through the heavy emotions of disappointment, anger, and grief. Perhaps you always will. But whatever feelings you hold in your heart and in your womb, I hope that you can look at your scar and say "Hell yes, it was worth it. And hell yea, I am worthy" 💛💛💛💛 *this post was written for mamas who might be struggling with an unexpected or undesired cesarean birth. I recognize that there are mamas that choose to have planned/elective cesarean births who might not resonate with the message in this post. I honor them as well - as I honor all mothers, all womxn, and all beings." * #bellybirth #cesareanbirth #WORTHIT #YOUAREWORTHY #doulatalk #womblove #bodyart #cesarean #sacredbirth
