C-Section Truths No One Tells You

Did you know nearly 1 in 3 births in the US are C-sections? It’s not just a quick detour—recovery takes 6-8 weeks (vs. 2-4 for vaginal births), and there’s more pain, risks, and even possible long-term issues like scar tissue and numbness. Docs say C-sections are lifesaving when needed, but not something to schedule early unless it’s medically necessary. And if you’re hoping for a VBAC later, your C-section history matters. Don’t be shy about asking your OB all the questions! #CSectionAwareness #MotherhoodUnfiltered #BirthStories #PregnancyFacts #Health
