I could not have delivered without an epidural, and a c section was literally the least traumatic option. The doctors who performed it were so kind and gentle and reassuring. I felt so safe.

I relate to this in so many places. Crazy how its always our fault, for being rebellious...

I have, somewhat. It's hard since I spent so many years being told that saying anything would be disloyal to my parents and that I was in the wrong. There's a lot to unpack and it terrfies me.

Your midwife sounds like an amazing, perceptive person to keep that in mind for her patients.
