Birth Photographer Shames C-Section Mom: “You Aren’t Giving Birth”

WHAT??? I cannot believe that a professional business person would send a perspective client such a hateful, shaming, hurtful message at one of the most delicate times of her life, just because she’s so convinced that her beliefs about birth are the only ones that are CREDIBLE.

Disgusting.

This poor expectant mama! My heart hurts for her.

Having had three c-sections, I know there is nothing easy about it. I would have loved to have had my kids the traditional way, but to be honest, my first child’s birth was scary and dangerous BEFORE the c-section…the c-section saved us. This photographer has NO idea why this mom needs a c-section, how DARE she judge??

Moms, it’s time to stop being so attached to OUR WAY being RIGHT and start being attached to showing LOVE AND KINDNESS to our fellow moms. The birth photographer had ONE thing right—this mom job IS hard, and there’s no reason for us to make it harder on each other. Especially not from the “get go”.

Do you know an expectant mama? PLEASE send her an encouraging word today!!! Let’s be the opposite of this mom shamer!
