How are you holding up?

Hey lovelies! 😃
Just checking in on those who had their July babies already , how are we all holding up mentally, emotionally, physically?
I know so much is going on and we don’t really get time to check in on ourselves….

My baby fell 😢😢😢 has this happened to you?

My husband was with my baby and he was starting to wake up.. I was in the other room sleeping and heard the thud… then heard my baby scream and my husband cry out and my baby crying so loud 😩 I ran out and just saw my husband hugging him.. he fell from the bassinet and he cried with actual tears. I asked to help him… and by that time he had calmed down and stopped crying as my husband was apologizing to him and holding him. When I help him he looked like he wanted to nurse and was sticking his tongue out… he fell asleep pretty normally and I was touching his face (my husband said he landed on his face) to see if he was in any main or if anything felt weird… anyways my baby is 7 weeks old. I’ll take him to the doctor later today but I’m just super upset and nervous right now. Has this happened to anyone else ? Was your baby ok…. I hate saying things but one of my biggest fears/ unspoken insecurities is that my baby will get a brain injury or a developmental delay. I’ve always fears this because I’m a social worker and am around it everyday for work… any ways pls let me now if this happened to anyone or what u think 😩 is he gunna be ok

Preeclampsia Birth Trauma

Hi everyone. I’m 4 months PP, my daughter was delivered @ 35wks via emergency c-section for preeclampsia, & I recently was diagnosed with PPAD & OCD. I had been having nightmares and wasn’t able to sleep and it was causing severe anxiety. I feel like I have unresolved trauma & PTSD from my birth. I didn’t think I did, but I still think about it a lot, and I’m bitter and upset because I had planned an unmediated birth. I missed out on my golden hour and special moments because I was in horrible shape and on a 24hour mag drip and in the ICU afterwards with leg compressions on, the whole 9 yards. My daughter was healthy and fine and I’m so grateful- but I feel like it really affected me.
Does anyone else have a similar experience? How did you move forward and manage the feelings of missing out in your own birth?
