Hello, I ave just found this forum and it feels reassuring to know the emotions I am feeling are shared by others.

My beautiful 2 week old girl was fitted with a DBB yesterday and I can't believe my soft little bundle is now this difficult to cuddle brick. I feel I have lost the chance to have her be a newborn. My son had a very difficult infacncy, and my daughter had been the complete opposite and I was loving having a newborn around.

I know that this is for her future and of course I didn't need to think twice about the need for the brace, but I feel I have lost something and I am glad that others on the forum have felt this way too. I feel incredibly selfish for feeling this way, hopefully it will pass over the next few days as I get more used to the brace.

Sorry to use my first post for a whinge, but I really needed it.
