Your C-Section May Be Over, But Your Body Isn’t

The surgery is done.

The scar has healed.

Everyone else has moved on.

So why does your body still feel tense, disconnected, emotional or not quite finished?

This episode is not about pathology or what’s “wrong.”

It’s about timing, completion, and the intelligence of the body.

The medical system marks birth as complete when the baby is born.

But the body marks birth as complete when effort finishes, threat resolves, and the nervous system returns to safety.

A C-section can interrupt that biological sequence.

As I share in this episode:

Your body doesn’t run on dates or discharge papers. It runs on experience.

In this conversation, we explore:

•Why you might still feel on edge months or years after a C-section

•Numbness around the scar or lower belly

•Emotional shutdown or sudden emotional waves

•Difficulty resting even when exhausted

•Feeling disconnected from yourself or your body

•The quiet belief that you “should be over this by now”

Your body isn’t broken.

It’s waiting for completion, not explanation.

Healing doesn’t mean reliving trauma.

It means safety, orientation, reconnection, and gentle nervous system settling, at a pace your body can trust.

Nothing has gone wrong.

Your timing makes sense.

Your body is not behind.

If you’d like to go deeper, the C-Section Confidence & Recovery Program is linked below, a body-led, somatic space to support emotional and nervous system healing after C-section.
