Scenario

When your birth doesn't go as planned and everyone dismisses your grief

My birth plan went completely out the window and I ended up with an emergency C-section after 20 hours of labor, but everyone keeps telling me I should just be grateful we're both healthy and I feel like I'm not allowed to grieve what I lost.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
