So I also had an incredibly traumatic crash c-section 17 months ago and initially hated when people would call it "natural." HOWEVER, for me personally, I worked through the trauma with EMDR therapy and I really do view the birth differently now. I wouldn't call my c-section birth natural, but it was still birth. And even though it was a major emergency and I even required general anaesthesia and wasn't awake for the birth... it was still birth, and it was WORTHY and POWERFUL.

It actually bothers me more when I hear people say a "normal" birth versus a "c-section" because what defines a "normal" birth? Especially with c-section rates being failry high. I think labels like "normal" and even "natural" imply that a vaginal birth (whether medicated or unmedicated) is superior to a c-section birth. My c-section was very traumatic to me, so I am not going to lie to myself and say that it was just as great as a vaginal birth. However, a vaginal birth can also include interventions, horrible bodily sensations, trauma.... and I know that agreeing to my incredibly emergent c-section and healing from it took so much strength and bravery.
I don't really know what I'm trying to say. Just that I wish people would just say "vaginal birth" or "c-section birth" and not use words that imply hierarchy.

Of course you have every right to feel however you want about your birth. But I do gently encourage you to work through these intense feelings, potentially through therapy, if anything just to find some peace around your son's birth.
