feeling down

[catjosh]

Ive been booked in for a csection in 3 days and the closer it gets the more i dont want to do it! My brother's partner had their baby 2 days ago and i am so jealous she got to have a natural  birth, i feel as though i have let my partner and mum down with getting to experience a natural labour and i am so worried about the weeks after! I am an independent person and I feel bad that i will need extra help with getting my two older kids to school and just daily things, my partner works long hard hours and is exhausted when he gets home and now i have put extra stress on his plate.

I had to have a C section last time due to finding out at 38wks my daughter Was breech. I had a home water birth planned! Just wanted to say that it was not as bad as I imagined and recovery is what u make it, if you are a get up and go type your recovery will be quick (though obviously don't overdo it!) I don't remember being in pain and I was up and about properly after 3 days :-) there are perks too, you bleed less afterwards and u get time to groom and do your make up beforehand haha, enjoy your little bundle! I'm hoping for a Vbac this time, fingers crossed!

The c-section is about you and, most importantly, your baby and bringing him/her into this world in the safest possible way. And, assuming your family loves you, they 'll just want what is best for you both too, which is in this case a c-section. You're not any less because you can't deliver naturally (this time), and be happy it is planned: you'll get to be consious and get your baby with you faster etc. You still carried the baby all these months, and created this little person that will bring joy to everyones life. You already did the most miraculous thing anyone can do in a life. The recovery time is longer, yes, but won't the rest of your family be willing to help?

If i were you, i would talk to my partner and mother about these feelings, i'm sure they can make you feel better.
