Amanda Fields is the co-editor of Toward, Around, and Away from Tahrir (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2014), and she lives in Wethersfield, CT. She gave birth to her daughter via C-section. Rachel Mortiz lives she lives in Minneapolis, MN. Her son was born by C-section.
The C-section experience is as varied as life itself--there's guilt and gratitude, pride and regret. These mothers illuminate the whole spectrum with depth, urgency, and humor. My Caesarean is the antidote to alienation, and I dearly wish I'd had it before my own births. I'm so glad we have it now. --Meaghan O'Connell, author of And Now We Have Everything The essays in My Caesarean refuse to idealize the birth experience and show it in all its stunning unexpectedness. This is a beautiful and important book that should be prominently shelved in the birth and parenting section of every bookstore. --Julie Schumacher, award-winning author of Dear Committee Members and The Shakespeare Requirement This collection gathers the overlooked and under processed experiences of C-sections--each importantly different, each importantly the same--and prompts robust reflection. Together these voices create a much-needed community that will comfort and challenge, enlighten and affirm. --Beth Ann Fennelly, poet laureate of Mississippi and author of Great With Child
