This is a cesarean section.
A C-section is not โthe easy way out.โ It is major abdominal surgery. To reach the baby, the team cuts through several layers: skin, fat, fascia, muscle, the peritoneum, then the uterus itself. Only then is the baby lifted out.
The mother is usually awake, numb from the waist down, hearing instruments, feeling pressure and tugging, while her body is opened so her child can live. After that comes healing from a deep surgical wound and caring for a newborn.
Every scar from this operation is a record of love that refused to wait and of a woman who went through surgery so someone else could take their first breath.
Respect the procedure. Respect the mother.โค๏ธ
