Cesarean Art

Traumatized mom, with no doctors in her area allowing VBAC, illustrates her experience. If you look at the pics, look in order and read the captions … and the about pages and the disclaimer. Not for the squeamish. Link via TulipGirl.

“Cesarean Art” has been splattered on 3 times.


  • Nice art and design sense but a little melodramatic in the content sense. It’s sucky that she had to go with a C, but her art makes it seems as if Cs are the devil when sometimes they can be anything but. I read the part where she said she was only referring to her unnecessary C, but the art is far to general to be limited to that.


  • Until you have had an unnecessary cesarean (and many are) you really have no idea what it is like. WHO (world health organization) recommends a cesarean rate of 10-15%,the U.S has a rate of about 30%–some states even almost 40%. A whole heck of a lot of cesareans are unnecessary. Some women elect them for no medical reason wahtsoever. That’s pure stupidity. They are ill-informed, not informed, or have their blinders on about the risks cesareans carry. Maybe some women who want to elect a cesarean, or women who aren’t doing their research on how to avoid a cesarean, will see the art and do everything in their power to prevent one.
    Melodramatic? Birth is very dramatic event, it envokes a lot of emotion. It is a defining moment in a womans’ life. An unnecessary, unwanted cesarean is akin to rape. It is very, very traumatic. Her art is beautiful, and I can relate to it 100%
