Ugh I'm so sorry. I know it's easier said than done, but you have to try not to beat yourself up about it. At that moment in time, you felt it was the right decision. I did a c section vs vaginally birth because I knew I would not have been able to handle pushing with the result of a stillborn baby. I have second thoughts about it because of always wanting to do a vaginal birth and now I won't have that opportunity but I know emotionally, I would not have been able to handle it.
Hugs.
TTC since November 2009.
DH diagnosed with sperm antibodies.
IUI #1 = BFN
IUI #2 = BFN
On the road to IVF....
Egg Retrieval Jan 21, 2011
16 eggs retrieved
Egg transfer Jan 26, 2011
Only 2 viable eggs transferred.
1 IVF, 1 ICSI

Our baby Jack became an angel

You did the best you could. It is so hard to make those choices. Some days I almost wish I hadn't delivered vaginally. It was the longest 5 hours of pushing that will haunt me for the rest of my life.

Please don't feel like that, we all try to do the best we can and I think many of us still have regrets. You aren't a bad mother- we all can see how much you love your son and if that isn't an absolutely wonderful mother, I don't know what is. (((hugs)))

I completely agree. You did what you felt was best at the time and your son knows that. I believe that in my heart. We all have regrets and I don't think there is any right answer where you would have completed your journey regret free. I am so sorry you feel the way you do. HUGS
Huge (((HUGS))). At that time, you made the best decision you could. You are not a bad mother.
