Calling dr. tomorrow

I guess I have ppd.  I had to have a c section.  My spinal wasn't placed right, so when the dr. started to cut me open, I felt it, and had to be put to sleep for the rest of the surgery, so I missed dd being born, and didn't see her for about 2 hours after she was born.  I just can't get past this now.  It has been over 3 and a half months.  I was doing better, but now I am back to crying about it several times a week.

I am so, so sorry.

I also had an emergency c-section after planning for a bradley, med free birth. I am almost 6 months out but still think about the birth quite often, can't drive near the hospital, think about all the things I should/could have done during pg and labor to avoid a c-section.

GL calling your doctor. Getting help in feeling better is important for your family.

DO NOT beat yourself up over this. I also had a c-section with my son and had the same feelings, especially when my MIL said I did not actually deliver my son. What!? I look at my son today and am thankful a c-section was an option, otherwise, he wouldn't be here today.

If it has you this upset, do call your Doctor, but I promise as time goes on and you look at your child, those feelings will fade away. As upset as I was to have a c/s, I've scheduled my next one with my 2nd child. All that matters to me now is that my children are here with me, safe and sound.

Good luck to you!
