Our Birth Story - NHS Planned C Section & Positive C-Section Experience | xameliax

The day our lives changed forever. Our positive elective C section experience.
Never been so grateful for the NHS - how lucky we are to have such wonderful medical teams working tirelessly to keep us all safe.
Please be extra mindful in the comment section during this series: Please no graphic details/oversharing or judgments in order to keep everyone safe. It is TOTALLY fine to share your experiences in a mindful and conscious way. We want to be real, and every journey really is so different. It's just very important to be careful and kind when discussing triggering topics such as this and understand that everyone's experience and feelings are valid. Pregnancy can be a very worrying time that can often feel overwhelming and difficult to navigate, so I would love to open up an honest, but overall positive and uplifting space for people to come together.
If you feel like you need support for any pregnancy, fertility or birth trauma you may have experienced or are experiencing please do reach out to a medical professional or seek comfort in the many wonderful support forums there are available online such as the Birth Trauma Association: www.birthtraum... or a dedicated forum thread on Netmums that may help your particular worry: www.netmums.com/
Wishing you all the love with your journey!

So lovely to hear such a positive experience! I ended up needing an emergency section with my first as he was starting to show signs of distress. Sadly since the epidural, even the boosted one, wasn't working fast enough (I could feel them pinching my tummy to test if it worked) so I needed to be knocked out. In a way I didn't mind because I was exhausted at the time. Also, this meant that I have one of my favourite memories because of it. When I got to recovery, the midwife was calling my name and saying to look over to my husband and what he was holding. It was my husband that told me that we had a son, and I am crying now reliving that memory. It was amazing! I'm currently 19 weeks with our second, and after much thought, I think I'll go for an elective section this time. I'm hoping that my hubby will be able to tell me again when they are born if it's a girl or a boy. Will see when the time comes! :) For me, even though it was an emergency section after induction, I still see it as a positive experience. Thanks for sharing your story!

I hope it all goes well 🤗🤗🤗

Thank you so much for sharing this has helped me! Im super super worried about the numb feeling and panicking that I can’t feel my body… and fainting too! that’s the one thing I’m terrified for! You sound like you stayed really calm so I’m hoping I can do the same! xx

[@xameliaxYoutube]

I hope it went really well lovely!!!

[@Sue-np9fp]

Amelia, what a wonderful, positive and very generous sharing of your birth experience! Warmest love and congratulations on the birth of your baby son. He has a beautiful, joyful mum, whose love for him, shines out into the world. May the 3 of you continue to thrive in your cocoon of love! (and well done, for maintaining your boundaries)! love Sue xxx

[@xemziixx]

Absolutely loved this! Congratulations to you both! 🥹 So glad to see you’re enjoying mum life and doing well! Great to know you had a positive experience, I’m 28 weeks and although there’s still quite a way to go I was told this week that I may have to consider a c section so this has been great to hear, thank you!! Xx

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Best of luck for your birth lovely! 🤗 I hope you have a wonderful experience and little one arrives safe 💕xax

Thank you for sharing this, Amelia. I’m having my elective in just under 2 weeks with my second after a long and hard induction with my first. Must admit I’m bricking it but it’s so helpful to hear the various steps and processes. So lovely to hear you had such a positive experience. Hoping mine goes just as smoothly x

[@xameliaxYoutube]

Wishing you luck lovely! They can be beautiful 🥹xax

[@MissPaddyEmoPanda]

How did it go for you? I’m having a planned c section in a week with my second baby. My first baby was a 3 day induction that ended in forceps, being cut and having a 3rd degree tear. The healing was absolutely awful and it effected my mental health so badly that I knew next time I wanted a planned section. I hope yours went well x

[@newjenrevolution8500]

I was already feeling weepy today and this tipped me over (especially the part where Toby came over to check what was going on)! Loved hearing the little baby noises, seeing your raw emotion and the way you just made the camera work around what you were already doing - that made it feel like a real life catch up kind of chat. Thank you for sharing this story, it was beautiful and a real privilege to hear. I also wanted to comment on listening to your instincts and intuition - your first thought is usually the right one in any situation so keep doing that. Wishing you all of the good things 🥰

Ah thank you so so much 🥹🥹🥹

Hearing you describe the “rush of love” moment made me SO emotional! You did such a great job, welcome to the world little one!🥰

[@xameliaxYoutube]

It was very very cool! Will remember that moment forever

[@graceyblossom]

Positive birth stories are just my absolute favourite ❤ so amazing to hear everyone’s unique experiences and I’m over the moon for you that your birth was so special. You are glowing, motherhood suits you so much ❤ nobody can prepare you for it and I was definitely the same as you, not expecting to love it as much as I do. Those pictures sound absolutely insane and how incredible you’ll have that moment captured and treasure it forever ❤🥺

Not letting the father stay is ridiculous.

[@xameliaxYoutube]

We managed - and honestly that first night alone with my boy will be something I always remember. It’s was formative (and whizzed by!)
