I wonder how many mothers have  this feeling after a technologically driven  
birth.......and who feels  safe enough to admit it?  


Nikki.
I definitely had this same feeling, even though I labored through  transition 
before my section.... I also finally began to feel that this baby was  really 
mine at around 3 months.

Subject: mother feeling baby is  hers

Dear Friends:

Diane W. quoted a mother who had a cesarean  section as not feeling this  
baby 
is hers. 

I worked with a  mother who, 2 months after her dreadful induction/cesarean  
section  and newborn with a congenital anomaly, lay on my table during CST 
and   
cried and cried and cried. Emotionally, she had not moved past the  cesarean  
section, even though she had been doing everything she  could to breastfeed 
and  
care for her baby.

After 4 CST  treatments, she told me that one night she was aware of a new   
feeling, that this was "her" baby. 

I wonder how many mothers have  this feeling after a technologically driven  
birth.......and who  feels safe enough to admit it?  

CST is such a helpful modality  for emotional issues.

(For those that are interested, the story of  Melissa and Kevin was  
published 
in MIDIRS September  2007.)

warmly,
