It's not depressing hun - many of us still after years face the trauma of what we had to go through to get our babies here safely. I struggle with my scars and what they mean but have come to a place where I look at my scars ( I have 2!) and both say

"This is where my child was birthed from my body to join us here safely"

DD often sees mine and she knows that that is her special "line" that helped her come into the world. We "gave birth" through these lines - our battle was different from others who give birth naturally but we still gave life through this scar and although I am not proud per se, I know that this is the way it is and I have finally accepted it. xoxox
