Hi SueAnn- nice to see you here as you said:  So, is
the lung
metaphor
not a good one to use on women who experienced
cesarean births? No, I
don't
think so, because upon further thought, I said to
myself, "Hmm, if my
breathing were put in an unfamiliar place snip for
brevity maybe my breathing WOULD
get
confused and erratic. Just like my uterus had been."
=====================================

I know when I think too hard about breathing and
autonomic functions wrt breathing, I *do* get terribly
confused!  It takes too much concentration to think
about breathing and as a result, I cant' do it.  I was
also told that I thought too much about giving birth
(as I did it) and wouldn't just give in to it.
Breastfeeding was fine though; just did that.
