My Caesarean: Twenty-One Mothers on the C-Section Experience and After

Twenty-one vivid, moving essays on caesarean birth

â€œNo one talks about C-sections as surgery,â€ writes SooJin Pate. â€œThey talk about it as if itâ€™s just another wayâ€”albeit more convenient wayâ€”of giving birth.â€ The twenty-one essays in My Caesarean add back to the conversation the missing voices of a vast, invisible sisterhood.

Robin Schoenthaler reflects: â€œA C-section for us meant life.â€ And yet, women who donâ€™t give birth vaginallyâ€”by choice or necessityâ€”often feel stigmatized. â€œMy sonâ€™s birth was not a test I needed to pass,â€ writes Sara Bates. â€œAs if growing a human inside another human for nine months then caring for it the rest of its life isnâ€™t enough,â€ adds Mary Pan, herself a physician.

Alongside their personal stories, the writersâ€”decorated novelists, poets, and essayistsâ€”address the history of the C-section as well as its risks, social inequities, impact on the body, and psychological aftermath. My Caesarean is a heartfelt meditation, offering much-needed comfort through shared experience.

Contributors include: Catherine Newman, Judy Batalion, Nicole Cooley, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Lisa Solod, Misty Urban, Jacinda Townsend, Mary Pan, Robin Schoenthaler, Elizabeth Noll, Jen Fitzgerald, Tyrese Coleman, SooJin Pate, Daniela Montoya-Barthelemy, Cameron Dezen Hammon, LaToya Jordan, Sara Bates, Susan Hoffmann, and Alicia Jo Rabins.
