(cw surgery)
thank you for sharing and i'm so sorry for what you have been through ❤
i have really struggled replying to this because i also had an emergency c section after what could be considered a challenging labour and it took me a little while to come to terms with it, so i don't want to offer what will now just feel like empty platitudes.
in the UK, my doctor told me that about 40% of births are performed by C section - did you know that? i felt like i had failed to do the Normal thing too, but now its another tool we have to get babies into the world just like "natural" birth.
you went through hours of pain and had your body sliced open to bring her into the world and i don't think that there is any failure in such an amazing show of sacrifice and love for your daughter. you have done everything you can for her and if there is anything i have learned so far it's that the most important part of successful parenting is continuing to do it even when things are hard, which you're doing in spades at the moment ❤
sending you all my love xoxo
