Sivan Benjamin welcomed a healthy baby boy in 2023 but felt her delivery experience did not meet expectations. After reviewing her maternity records, she found a more complete understanding of her birth. She realized that certain aspects of her delivery, like going into labor and skin-to-skin contact, were missed. Many mothers are sharing their birth stories on social media, reflecting their emotions tied to each memory. For some, these records offer closure while others delight in revisiting moments often forgotten post-birth.
"It was interesting to look back on the good and the bad. When you're in the moment, you're not able to fully soak it in."
"I'm actually learning things about my delivery a year and a half after having my son... there were definitely things that I felt like I had missed out on when it came to birth."
"Going through all of this has made me feel really nostalgic for that period of time."
"I had a traumatic birth and reading the notes is wild, but also very helpful and informative."
