Meet Keletso, a remarkable mother who graciously shares her heartfelt journey through a cesarean birth. Her story sheds light on the challenges she faced and the strength she discovered along the way.

"I never imagined my birthing journey would lead me to a cesarean delivery. Yet, here I am, grateful for the experience and the beautiful outcome it brought into my life.

From the moment I learned a cesarean birth was necessary, a wave of emotions engulfed me. Fear, uncertainty, and even a hint of disappointment surfaced. Would I miss out on the 'natural' birthing experience I had envisioned? How would recovery be? These questions swirled in my mind as I prepared for what lay ahead.

The day arrived, and amidst the nerves, I found solace in the supportive team surrounding me. The medical staff's professionalism and compassion eased my anxieties, reassuring me that I was in capable hands. As my precious baby entered the world through the miracle of surgery, a surge of overwhelming love engulfed me, eclipsing any lingering doubts.

Yet, the challenges didn't end there. Recovery presented its own set of hurdles. Simple tasks became arduous, and the pain tested my resilience. However, with each passing day, I discovered newfound strength within myself. Every step forward, no matter how small, was a victory.

Reflecting on my journey, I've come to realize that the essence of motherhood knows no bounds. Whether through cesarean or vaginal birth, the love, sacrifice, and unwavering determination remain constant.

Today, as I watch my little one grow, I'm filled with gratitude for the journey that brought us together. My cesarean birth wasn't just a delivery method; it was a testament to my strength and the incredible bond between mother and child."

Keletso's story reminds us that every birthing experience is unique and worthy of celebration. Let's honour the courage and resilience of mothers like Keletso, embracing their journeys with empathy and admiration. πŸ’–

Thank you for sharing you story with us KeletsoπŸ’š

Did you know that more than 1 in 5 of all childbirths worldwide now involve a caesarean delivery πŸ€°πŸ½πŸ”

πŸ“Š 21% of all births globally are now by caesarean section and by 2030, this figure is projected to rise to nearly 29%

Why the Increase?πŸ€”
1. Maternal Age: Older mothers tend to have higher caesarean rates.
2. Urban Residency: Living in cities is associated with more C-sections.
3. Economic Status: Higher economic status correlates with increased rates.
4. Previous Caesarean: Once a C-section, often another.
5. Pregnancy Complications: Health issues during pregnancy play a role.
6. Education: Higher education levels link to more C-sections.

While C-sections can be lifesaving, we must strike a balance. Ensuring timely access for those who truly need them is crucial. Let's prioritize safety and well-being for both moms and babies! πŸ’š
