By the time I had my daughter, I had seen almost every possible outcome and complication that can occur during birth. Although it made me hyper aware of the risks and rare devastating outcomes that can occur, I felt prepared and went into the experience with open eyes and ready to accept my lack of total control over what would happen. When I ended up with a c-section I was able to cope and process the experience. Out of all the things that can happen during pregnancy and delivery, I felt lucky going home alive and healthy with a thriving baby. If I had been in many places without modern medicine my experience would have been devastating. I was able to appreciate how lucky I was.
