A new mom has shared a powerful post explaining how she was shamed and told she was not a “real mother” because she had a C-section instead of a natural birth.
Like most moms-to-be, Sunny Tucker, 23, from Adelaide, South Australia, had a clear birth plan of how she wanted to bring her little boy Axel—now 8 weeks old—into the world. Tucker was excited to have a natural birth, but due to complications, she was forced to have a cesarean to potentially save her and her baby’s life.
