TM I know this is easy for me to say as my baby is not breech but a CS does not necessarily inhibit breastfeeding. You can also request to have skin on skin contact after a C section. The midwife will probably say this will depend on the circumstances but you can emphasise this and have it recorded at your hospital and also mention to any OBs, doulas etc involved in your birth. My yoga instructor actually told me this - most mothers assume they will miss out on skin on skin with a CS and many hospitals do not offer it automatically but it is your right to request this, excepting an emergency etc.

I also totally agree with forshelby - a CS is still a valid form of giving birth. Try not to feel guilty or let down if you do have one. You have still grown and protected your baby for the all important nine months and you have still managed to safely bring her into the world following that nine months. This is an enormous achievement and the product of months of hard work on your behalf. x
