"The one emotion that was consistent during my daughter's birth, almost 13 years ago, was shame - shame for not birthing her vaginally, shame for not being able to breastfeed her, shame for not feeling a connection to her right away. The nursing staff in particular reaffirmed this emotion over and over again, one nurse even saying to me as she wheeled me to my recovery room after my Cesarean, 'you know you’re too young to have a baby...' And I believed them."
