Nothing about my birth went to plan. My water broke five weeks early, my doctor was away, and a last-minute decision led to an unplanned cesarean.Later, I found out that the reason I chose surgery—a 16% weight difference—wasn’t even accurate.For months, I grieved the experience I thought I’d have. But here’s what I’ve learned: birth isn’t about perfection. It’s about strength. It’s about making the best choices we can in the moment. And it’s about the love we pour into our babies from the second they arrive.If your birth didn’t go as planned, know this: you still did amazing, mama.
