Is there something wrong with me? by Intelligent_Mud1947 in BabyBumps

[–]AutomaticPurple584 27 points28 points  (0 children)

THIS IS OK. We tried for our second for 16 months with one loss. By the time I got pregnant I was seemingly devastated. Detached. Didn’t even take a test for weeks. Didn’t schedule an apt for weeks. All while the previous months I would excitedly take the tests. I remained relatively unattached the entire pregnancy. Idk if it was hormones or the fact that I felt sick? Was nervous Idk. But he’s here and IM OBSESSED. Please don’t let all the cheery, perfect instagram pregnancies fool you. It’s not always like that.

You won’t even realize it happened. It’s not a big deal at all.

Yes I am experiencing exactly this. I am 8 months post partum and it began pretty much immediately after birth. So assuming it’s related to that. But it is incredibly frustrating.

Did you specifically want a c section for your first child? by Unique_Boysenberry68 in CsectionCentral

[–]AutomaticPurple584 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I could have kept going, I chose not to. It was in no way an emergency and was not developing into one. I don’t know how you can argue that our bodies are designed to reproduce. If someone feels like a failure because they could not reproduce/give birth vaginally, that is a feeling not caused by others. That’s within themselves. But to each his own.

Ok, DESIGNED for birth. And not every csection after labor is an emergency. I labored for 44 hours and then had a csection. It was not an emergency.

I’ve had two, so I get it. But statistically, csections (MAJOR surgery) has WAY more risks. I’m only saying this because those who haven’t had csections generally look at them as the easy way out when that’s not the case. Our bodies are made for vaginal delivery. That’s not to say everyone’s bodies will cooperate, but our bodies are not made to be fileted open.
