Often the birth gets eclipsed once the baby is born and there is an overriding message that we should all just pull ourselves together and thank our lucky stars for a successful outcome. Which of course we do, but which still doesn’t deal with the trauma of what has happened.
Comment by ‘kitstwins’ on a mumsnet forum regarding a ‘crash c/s’.
The attitudes behind my own son’s birth were just the same, and I can see them being the same this time round too - every time I ask questions about a c/s, and under what circumstances I would be able to avoid it, the doctors just say stuff which basically means, ‘get over it, just have a c/s’. If it’s necessary, then of course I will consent. But if it’s not, can you blame me for not wanting it?

I’m encountering this attitude at the moment and it pisses me off. There should be support services for this type of thing. A friend of mine had crash c/s, no-one acknowledged her dissapointment and she became depressed.
