    I hate that. But it is so hard to explain to someone who hasn't been through it. Of course our health is paramount. But there are other things I want as well.

    Some of those are doozies!  I do hate the "well be grateful for a healthy baby" one!  Like I am not anyway!

    That is a really great post. I get the updates on FB but don't always read them when I am checking from my phone. Thanks.

    I seriously got filled up when I read that- especially the healthy baby one. EVERYONE said that and it made me so upset but I couldn't explain why...

    The one that hit home for me was the one about smiling and being happy. I was traumatized and was still not bonding with DD and was having trouble BFing. My grandma called my mom after visiting with me and insisted that I had hurt her and my grandpa's feelings by not being happy and smiley and talkative. Really? Thanks. My feeling are hurt over a lot of things now not to mention regular post-partum mood swings.

    I really am okay with my grandparents now, but that still almost knocks me over every time I think about it.
