Advice - friend’s just has an emergency CS - how do I reach out?

[Epacris]

My good friend, but not my close friend IYKWIM, welcomed her DD into the world this morning. I spoke to her briefly on the phone tonight to offer my congratulations.

- I know she was planning a natural birth through a MW lead birth centre.
- I know she had a long hard labour that ended in a “rushed” (her words) emergency CS.
- I know she is very tired, tender and sore and expects to be for some time.
- I know that breastfeeding is going OK.

- I don’t know what she wanted her DD’s birth to be like.
- I don’t know what expectations (realistic or otherwise) she had about the birth processes.
- I don’t know how educated she was about her birth choices.

I don’t know how she feels about it at all and I really want to reach out in some way, but how do I do it? She might be really disappointed, she might be totally fine, and if I suggest that she could (read, should?) be disappointed that would be really bad (and I’d look like an idiot).

I was thinking of sending a card to welcome her DD and inserting a small note to just to her, but what do I say? This is what I’ve got so far. Suggestions, alteration and additions are very welcome.

Dear MF,

Congratulations on birthing your darling daughter into the world. She chose a strong and wise woman to be her mother. This is such a wonderful and emotional time, I remember it so well.

If there is anything we can do to help in any way, please don’t hesitate to ask. I am thinking of you and your gorgeous family and sending all my warmth and love.

Rachel.

ETA: oh and of course I would NEVER say "at least you have a healthy baby" I know that much!
