Childbirth is one of the most painful experiences women could have. But more painful than that is when normal delivery procedure fails and it then becomes a C-section. Though there are many aspects to a C-section than we might realize, nobody really talks about it as much. But these women want that to change and to break the stigma on having C-sections.
Despite how common the procedure has become, C-sections are rarely portrayed on TV, and little has been done to normalize the conversation around them. Add to that common misconceptions about C-section—that it’s “the easy way out” or a vanity-driven choice—and a dip in self-esteem that can accompany the tell-tale scarring, and women may face a physical and mental recovery period that takes months, or even years.

Funny aside to my car accident years ago. Had 43 stitches in my forehead to close up the wound I received smashing into my windshield on a head on collision into a concrete culvert. Doctor on call that night was an OB/GYN. Did a great job. When I had to visit his office to have the stitches removed is another story.
