I'm in tears...I could have WRITTEN this post!! I'm in tears because I agree!! Especially with the part that you talk about being robbed of the childbirth experience you so desired. I still, to this day, 4 months later feel that way about that and also about breastfeeding. I lost so much blood after my c-section that my body would not produce enough milk for my baby so we had to switch to formula. I'm still sad and upset about it. The baby blues are totally normal and will fade but it sucks while you're in it. I remember the uncontrollable crying well. ((hugs))<br /><br />I also missed pregnancy immediately. You spend SO LONG trying to get pregnant and then when it's over it feels like a dream that flew by! It's not fair :(FirstTimeMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16381766250070902117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838573435997763550.post-979487401780452542011-04-22T09:21:34.716-07:002011-04-22T09:21:34.716-07:00Snow Pea is BEAUTIFUL!

When my first baby was born I felt very similarly, but it didn't pass. I kept telling my husband that something was wrong and he kept telling me it was normal and would pass. I let it go on for almost 15 months and feel so robbed of a lot of great moments in those months. I spent so much time crying and being sad. This time the experience is so different (and wonderfu)... I hope you turn the corner quickly, but if not please don't be afraid to ask for help and miss out on all the wonderful things that beautiful little girl will bring into your life.<br />Sending you lots of hugs!Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05255257812982617668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838573435997763550.post-90366518443242760442011-04-20T19:24:38.735-07:002011-04-20T19:24:38.735-07:00I know you know it, but i am going to say it anywa...I know you know it, but i am going to say it anyway - your not alone...<br /><br />I know how you feel, i feel your pain, i know that no matter how hard you try not to think its not fair - it is still not fair, being too drugged to meet your miracle is the worst pain i have felt in a long time, and while it still hurts me that like you i wasnt able to 'bond' with my babe in the early hours of her life, just know that it doesnt hurt your relationship in the long run, and just know that in my heart i somewhat believe i cherish our moments just a little bit more now.<br /><br />While it takes some time to heal physically as well as mentally, just know that you will heal and that soon your emotions will return to normal, you will begin to find your new identity and 8 months down the track you will wake up and realise that no matter how hard it was you made it, you did it and you now have everything your heart desires, and that nothing could be more perfect...<br /><br />It will be hard, it will be the biggest challenge you have ever faced but trust me, with all my heart and soul i believe that you will wake up one day soon and just know that the person you have become is in fact the best version of yourself you could have ever imagined... And you will have a little someone who smiles at you and you just know that you are at that moment the person she relies on most of all.<br /><br />Sending you all my love across the oceans...Chasing a Miraclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07174633053446862951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838573435997763550.post-80690776431110800932011-04-19T15:34:37.072-07:002011-04-19T15:34:37.072-07:00I completely understand the emotions you are going...I completely understand the emotions you are going through, especially the c-section part, and I know this won't help but I just thought I'd let you know that it's totally normal. I promis it will pass! Just enjoy every second you have with your tiny bundle, because before you know it they will be 5 months old! (Where does the time go?) I can't wait to hear the birth story nonetheless!Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06406591702871726587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8838573435997763550.post-58712972701883711612011-04-19T15:09:33.352-07:002011-04-19T15:09:33.352-07:00Those first few weeks are tough.

I...Honey I swear it will get better in a few days! I had an unplanned section too and wow those drugs are quite awful. I also lost a LOT of my labor to ambien and stadol. We have our babies and that is what is important. No matter what kind of birth we envisioned they got here safe and sound! Im more angry that Josh didnt find it necessary to take pictures of me the first time I met Elliott or video him as he came out. (Im VERY jealous of all your pics of your birth!) I missed pregnancy alot those first 2 weeks and would catch myself touching my stomach in vain. Honestly for me it was more of the attention shift I went from being the embodiment of Elliott and getting massive amounts of attention from Josh to having to watch him get the attention. I had to tell Josh how I was feeling and that helped so much.<br /><br /> Also with Josh's sister visiting for 4 days I felt VERY judge and her nervous energy was too much for Josh, me and Elliott. She would appear out of no where if E so much as whimpered and says "Do you want me to hold him?" At first it was sweet and then it was like seriously he wants me! Do you have boobs to feed him? To further the annoyance of her visit when I called my MIL last week to tell her about my low supply issues I find out that my SIL had told my MIL that I was dieting,nervous all the time, (we were perplexed by this one as Im not a germaphobe and we went on several outings while she was here), not sleeping (UMMM who sleeps with a 2 week old who is nursing in vain every 1-2 hours?!?) and not drinking water (considering I wasnt drinking milk because I didnt want to give Elliott gas and I dont drink coffee or soda WHAT I was drinking to stay alive is beyond me....) To stop a family brawl I asked J not to call her and confront her. Lesson learned. She cannot be trusted...Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16852851485958507136noreply@blogger.com
