My first C-section made me feel like I wasn't made to be a mother. My fourth one reminded me that C-sections can be beautiful.
Briefly

Leading up to my fourth C-section, I dedicated a couple of therapy sessions to processing the trauma from my earlier births so they'd have less hold on me going into the OR.
The little tweaks made a big difference in how calm and comfortable I was during my fourth C-section, allowing me to enjoy the moment.
I stayed more alert throughout the entire surgery, chatting with the physician and delivery team, which made for a much more positive experience overall.
I never expected to have a C-section, believing I would have a vaginal birth, but parenthood taught me that much is outside my control.
