This mom needs to be made aware that it is ok to grieve after a  surgical 
delivery, that it is recognized as a child bearing loss, there are even  support 
groups and books on it. I went through it 28 years ago and it was  horrible 
and until I met others who felt the same way and got away from people  who said 
"what are you upset about, you have a healthy baby" and "oh, c/section  is the 
easy way to go", I was unable to recognize that it was ok. I make sure I  go 
over potential feelings with c/section moms and let them know that they  
shouldn't feel silly for grieving. So many of the staff nurses don't know about  it 
either which makes it even harder for these moms. Sherry Weersing  RNC
