I also had a very difficult birth experience where I nearly died. I would never want to tell any expecting mother about my experience because it would truly be terrifying. It's hard when your experience isn't the norm, and people ask you about it, and it was a horrible experience. :hugs:Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117971710083457112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7133072827784679833.post-47713652038237746732012-07-30T12:48:14.179-04:002012-07-30T12:48:14.179-04:00I can't imagine what you are going through.

I applaud you for being so strong. It's okay to be scared but I see you as strong as well.tiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132023573622066406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7133072827784679833.post-17259390556633285762012-07-30T09:26:43.270-04:002012-07-30T09:26:43.270-04:00Visiting from the Mom's Mingle!

When they finally got CJ out, they put me under. I ended up getting a ton of infections which eventually led to fluid in my lungs and heart failure. I am terrified too, like I said.

I ha...Hi! I'm visiting from the Monday Mingle!<br /><br />I had an unplanned c-section with my daughter over 7 months ago and it still haunts me. While the entire thing went very routine, it was completely opposite of what we intended for our birth, and I just haven't gotten over that yet. It bothers me. I'm terrified to get pregnant again, though I know I'd love more kids. I just hate Chantalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543581308363689982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7133072827784679833.post-29091815058411540642012-07-29T19:42:31.396-04:002012-07-29T19:42:31.396-04:00Wow, I am so very sorry you had such an experience...Wow, I am so very sorry you had such an experience and that it has affected you this deeply.

I think that your fears are valid. Writing my birth story (for my son) was very cathartic for me and helped me with a lot of what I was feeling. I was able to let go of some of the bad memories and hold onto the fact that my son was in my arms.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273081141876803791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7133072827784679833.post-68868154818480035702012-07-29T19:19:20.879-04:002012-07-29T19:19:20.879-04:00I'm so sorry something that was supposed to be...I'm so sorry something that was supposed to be so joyful brings you such pain and agony to this day. If you don't already go, I think a therapist would help a you a lot. I do applaud you for being able to write this, as difficult as it must have been. I hope you can heal enough to move forward with your dream of a larger family.

I hope that writing it down will be the first step towards your recovery from such a traumatic experience. I don't know how it works in the US, with insurance etc, but can you get your doctor to refer you to a therapist? Because talking really does help.Rachel Cotterillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08969719330048416996noreply@blogger.com
