This is so lovely, Sarah! I am embarrassed to admit that I did little to no research about what my health (physical or mental) would be like after my births. And when I had to have a C-section with Ava, I was more embarrassed that such a possibility had never even crossed my mind! You are so wise to have sought help so early, and I am so thankful you are finding your way.

I am thankful for a husband who has helped me pay attention to my emotions and encouraged me to ask for help! There was a time when it wouldn’t have occurred to me!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece. With my first baby I didn't expect to have a C-section, but once she was here safely, I didn't care at all. My subsequent babies were all scheduled C-sections, too. ❤️

Holding onto your baby tightly and your expectations and plans loosely is a good plan, I support it! 😗

Also, excellent, gentle playlist. "The Sun Will Rise" has gotten me through many dark nights.

I look forward to reading more. You're a great mama!!!!!
