April is C-Section Awareness Month and, as a 3-time c-section mama, this topic is deeply personal to me. In today’s episode, I’m opening up about my own birth stories — starting with my first unexpected cesarean nearly 5 years ago — and how I went from feeling like I had “failed at birth” to becoming an empowered and informed advocate for c-section mamas everywhere.
Whether you're preparing for a scheduled c-section, recovering from an emergency one, or simply want to feel seen in your unique birth story — this episode is for you. I'm sharing what I wish I had known before my first c-section, how I prepared differently for my later births, and my top tips for recovery — physically and emotionally.
