I think what you have written is perfect and I think its wonderful that you are considering her feelings about the birth. I had an emergency c-s too and for the most part nobody really cared about how I felt - I had a healthy baby and that was that. When I did start to talk about my disappointment a lot of people just looked at me as though there was something wrong with me because I had my baby, she was healthy and so was I so they didn't understand why I felt that way! Thank goodness for BB!!! As others have said, sometimes immediately afterwards it is normal to feel relief that labour is over and the baby has arrived safely into the world, it's not until you have time to reflect that more negative feelings start to arise. Just be there for her and be open to discussing her feelings without pushing her if she's not ready to share her feelings with you just yet. Sounds to me like you're a wonderful friend!
