To the lady sobbing her heart out in Basingstoke maternity unit this afternoon

[Alibabaandthe40nappies]

I so wanted to come and give you a hug and tell you that a c-section will be fine. Not the birth you planned, but you will have your baby and then once they are out the way they got here doesn't matter.

I'm sorry I didn't, but there were too many other people and I didn't have the guts.

Hope you're ok, everything will be fine :)

this post just bought a tear to my eye !

me too. that's such a lovely thing to say. i'm sure she will realise that lots of people are like you (and me) in that their thoughts are with you even if they're not brave enough to say something.

Me too, I thought the worst, I had a C section and it was amazing
I watched a birth on tv today and just thought, that does not look fun, at all! The baby at the end is the best bit (2 in my case) you won't care how you got there. Just the wonderful child you have produced
