Mine says 'this is the end result of a lack of support and a cascade of interventions.' It represents all the pain and suffering I endured to bring my boy into the world safely. I am however grateful that I was able to try, and that I laboured with all my strength. On and off for 7days, 4days of broken waters and 12hrs of established, induced labour. Still it wasn't enough. When c/s was dangled in front of me, in my most vulnerable state- I caved and agreed immediately. I didn't even fight. My scar reminds me every day that I didn't really give birth. That opportunity was stolen from me.
