Oh Hun, you are absolutely not whiny!!!! You have every right to feel disappointed when things turned out so differently from how you'd planned. I'm so sorry it was such a traumatic experience for you and I think your incredibly brave and strong for getting thru it. Don't feel like u have to be ok with it all anytime soon. It took me months to deal with thomas' birth and his wasn't even nearly as traumatic. In the meantime, go bury your head in that beautiful little boys neck and suck in all his newborn loveliness. Huge hugs xxx
Firstly, congratulations on the arrival of Finn!!!
Secondly, you have every right to grieve the birth that didn't go the way you had hoped and it is not whiny. Talk it out, cry it out and grieve it out so that you can move on and heal, and realise too that it is early on in your healing journey.
Enjoy your babymoon hun and I hope Ewan is enjoying his little brother!!
Congratulations on the arrival of your baby And congratulations on your birth. I know you are disappointed and it didn't go the way you wanted it but you did an amazing awesome job and I am so impressed by you.
You and your baby did an amazing job despite the crapness of the treatment given to you guys, of that you can be so so proud.
I am so sorry that they traumatised you. It is such an intensely spiritual moment and we are so vulnerable in such a specific way and to have those kind of crazy hospital policies looming over your head must of been so so difficult
I just dont "get" the whole 24 hour rule there certainly needs to be more advocacy for change in that regard...but that is for another thread...
Just wanted to say that I am so thankful that you have shared this story with us. I found it really healing to write down my DD1s birth, I hope that it starts the process of healing for you too
(and BTW, CONGRATS on the arrival of your wee little man )
congratulations on the arrival of your little man!
I'm sorry things didn't go as you'd hoped I'm sorry you were put in a crappy situation - like Cassius says, you and your baby did wonderfully despite all that.
I hope writing this out helps you. And please don't feel whiny or whatever - you've every right to feel this way.
All the best to you and your family
