    Do You Regret Your C-Section?

    Do you regret your C-section? Do you replay your birth and wonder if you should have done something differently? If so, I want you to know you’re not alone. One of the most common things I hear from C-section mums is, “I should have done this differently,” or “If only I had known.” In this video, we’re talking about birth regret, guilt, shame and self-blame after a C-section. Because while your feelings are completely valid, I also want to offer another perspective: Were you truly given all the information you needed to make the decisions you made? Were you fully informed about inductions, interventions, your options, your environment, and how stress, fear and feeling unsupported can affect labour? Or did you make the best decisions you could with the information you had at the time? As a C-section mum myself and through supporting many women after traumatic births, I’ve seen how easy it is for mothers to carry the weight of decisions that were made under pressure, fear, exhaustion and incomplete information. In this video we explore: ✨ Birth regret after a C-section ✨ Why so many mums blame themselves ✨ Induction and C-section conversations ✨ Feeling pressured during labour ✨ Birth trauma and self-blame ✨ Why your environment matters during labour ✨ Understanding your birth story differently ✨ Finding compassion for yourself after birth ✨ Emotional healing after C-section You do not have to carry the weight of regret forever. You brought your baby into the world with the knowledge, support and information you had at the time. And your baby loves you, no matter how they arrived. This is The C-Section Healing Space, where we talk about the emotional, physical, energetic and spiritual side of C-section recovery. ✨ Purchase Your Reconnection Ritual Oil Today If this video helped you feel seen, please like, subscribe and share it with another C-section mum who may need this message today.

    Why Your Child’s Birthday Triggers You

    Do you feel anxious, emotional, low, or unsettled around your child’s birthday? You’re not alone. Many C-section mums notice that the days or weeks leading up to their child’s birthday can bring back memories of birth trauma, anxiety, flashbacks or difficult emotions they thought they’d already moved past. In this video, I explore why your body remembers traumatic birth experiences, how the nervous system responds to anniversaries and significant dates and why emotions can resurface even years after a C-section. I share my own experience of feeling anxious before my son’s birthday and explain how simple nervous system tools like tapping, breathing and body awareness helped me move through those feelings. Inside this video we discuss: ✨ Why your child’s birthday can trigger birth trauma ✨ How the body stores traumatic experiences ✨ The connection between C-section recovery and the nervous system ✨ Why anxiety can return around birth anniversaries ✨ Flashbacks after traumatic birth ✨ EFT tapping and emotional regulation ✨ Why your body remembers what your mind forgets ✨ Emotional healing after C-section ✨ Processing birth trauma years later Many mums don’t realise their birth was traumatic until their baby’s first birthday arrives. Survival mode eventually slows down, and the body finally has space to show you what still needs healing. If your child’s birthday brings up emotions, tears, anxiety, flashbacks or difficult memories, it doesn’t mean you’re failing. It may simply be your body asking for your attention. This is The C-Section Healing Space, where we talk about the emotional, physical, energetic and spiritual side of C-section recovery. ✨I’ve created a free scar connection guide below and if you want to continue with a gentle daily practice, you’ll also find my Reconnection Oil linked there: https://www.divinajohnson.com/scarguide If this video helped you, please like, subscribe and share it with another C-section mum who needs to hear this.

    Why You Still Cry Years After C-Section

    Do you still cry when you think about your C-section, even years later? You’re not broken, weak or “stuck in the past.” I’ve worked with women who are 5, 10, 20, and even 30 years post C-section who still become emotional when talking about their birth experience. In this video, we explore why difficult, challenging, and traumatic birth experiences can continue to affect you long after the birth itself and why time alone doesn’t always heal emotional wounds. We discuss: ✨ Why you still cry when thinking about your C-section ✨ Birth trauma and the nervous system ✨ Why emotions can remain stored in the body ✨ The connection between your scar, tummy, womb and birth experience ✨ Somatic healing after C-section ✨ Reconnecting with your body after birth ✨ Writing your birth story as part of healing ✨ Simple ways to begin processing your experience Many women are told to move on, be grateful or stop thinking about the birth. But healing doesn’t happen through avoidance. Healing happens when we create safe spaces to process what we’ve been through. Whether your C-section was months ago or decades ago, it is never too late to begin healing. This is The C-Section Healing Space, where we talk about the emotional, physical, energetic and spiritual side of C-section.

    Scared To Get Pregnant Again After C-Section?

You’re not alone. After my first traumatic C-section, I was convinced I never wanted another child. The fear, shock, anxiety, difficult recovery and everything I experienced during birth made the thought of doing it again feel impossible. In this video, I share my personal story of having 3 C-sections in 5 years, what happened during my second pregnancy, why unprocessed birth trauma showed up again during my planned C-section, and what I wish I had done differently before becoming pregnant again. We talk about: ✨ Fear of having another baby after birth trauma ✨ Pregnancy after a traumatic C-section ✨ Why unprocessed emotions can show up during pregnancy, birth and postpartum ✨ VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Caesarean) options ✨ Birth preparation and hypnobirthing ✨ How to feel more confident about future pregnancies ✨ Emotional healing after C-section ✨ C-section recovery and nervous system healing If you’re wondering whether you’ll ever feel ready for another baby, I want you to know that healing is possible. You do not have to carry fear from one birth into the next.

    Why You Froze During Birth (Freeze & Fawn)

    ✨ Purchase Your Reconnection Ritual Oil Today https://www.divinajohnson.com/product-page/reconnection-body-oil Did you freeze during your labour or C-section and later wonder: “Why didn’t I say no?” “Why didn’t I advocate for myself?” “Why did I just go along with it?” In this episode of The C-Section Healing Space, I talk about freeze and fawn trauma responses during birth and how your nervous system may have been trying to protect you. After having 3 C-sections in 5 years, including a traumatic epidural experience where I truly thought I was dying, I now understand that what happened in the birth room was not a personality flaw, it was a learned survival response.
