Thank you for your post, I can relate to so much of what you have said. The birth of my first boy ended up with a crash c-section under general anaesthetic, and whilst he (hooray for boys) was fine, the whole process was really traumatic and I can still get upset thinking about it nearly 7 years later. But, like you, I was told by so many people ‘the important thing is that he’s OK’, which it was but also wasn’t, it seemed to wipe out everything else I had been through, which wasn’t OK. The way I dealt with it was to, quite intentionally, put it all in an emotional box and shut it away. It wasn’t til my second pregnancy that everything started to come out. I had a vbac second time and that helped me move on from what happened first time around but it’ll always be there, like the feeling that I can’t actually say I ‘gave birth’ to my first, rather he was wrenched out of me.

That was all years ago now, they are amazing, wonderful, funny boys who I love with my everything. But thank you for giving me a moment to reflect, and feel like someone else gets what happened to me.

I hope that your third arrives safely and you have a positive birth experience for you this time.
Cath
