So I don't know if you have seen this post floating around Facebook today. ( I can't even justify posting a link to my page) it is basically just saying what makes a "superior" mom. I am a mom that has had not one but three c-sections. After I had my first I suffered with tremendous mommy guilt. All I could think about was what if I was doing this 100 so years ago? We probably wouldn't have survived. And then the doubt set in. Is this how my start as a mom going to be? Can I even be trusted to take care of a new born? How can god love me if I couldn't even do what women have been doing for hundreds of years. If you are also struggling with this: let me tell you something. God is love. It took me e a while before I could truly understand that how I had my baby doesn't define who I am as a new mom. I still fed my baby, clothed and changed my baby, loved and cuddled and kissed tears away. I woke every three hours with my baby. I prayed for my baby but above all I mothered my babies. It doesn't matter how your babies came into this world, naturally , with an epidural , section or from another's womb. If your baby is loved and cared for, you are a MOTHER. Period. And god couldn't be happier.
Steps off soap box.
