Emergency c section
Show your support
Honestly, motherhood taught me to cut those kinda of people out of your life. In the moment you're most vulnerable full of hormones, going through a NICU stay, and people have the audacity to say stuff like that? For what reason? You did gave birth, you are not "lucky" because you had a c-section (its a MAJOR surgery, not a convenient way out of the natural one,like some people might think). Do NOT waste your time listening to those bs, cut those people off your life and worry only about your baby. And a last advice, get in touch with a therapist. I also felt robbed of the labor/delivery I thought I would have and took me months to get used to it with the help of a therapist. Postpartum depression is real and nobody should give the chance of it to happen if can be avoided!
Just like every pregnancy is different so is every birth. I had a c section as well and wish that someone would tell me that I didn’t give birth. And NICU life is not easy at all, but you can do it. My son was born at 32 weeks and seeing how strong he was helped me through. If you need someone to talk to my inbox is open
Hi Incognito, Life Coach and former NICU mom here. I wanted to offer some questions you can reflect on about your circumstances that can help shift your thinking. - Why are you choosing to let your sister-in-law’s thoughts impact you about your birth experience? - Why are you to let your paps girlfriend’s thoughts impact you about your birth experience? - How is thinking “I was robbed of the last push of my pregnancy” impacting how I’m experiencing my time with my baby?
