What a beautiful birth story hun! Thankyou for sharing, enjoy all the cuddles.
I must ask where did you give birth i want to give birth there sounds gorgeous! xx
Congratulations on the new addition to your family. Your birth story was such a beautiful one. A pleasure to read and one that I know I will go back and read again.
Congratulations and what an amazing story! Your family bath sounds so special. I understand the evening tears, my little baby blues hit most nights as the long days of painful feeds ( I had the same pain for quite a while ) took over and I knew I had long nights ahead so my tears would flow at around 7 every night. Enjoy your baby moon and I hope feeding settles in for you quickly as well. xox
One thing that stood out though was the emotional feeling as the sun sets. I got this too and I would be fine all day and then as night closed in I would bawl my eyes out. Do you find the nights lonely? I found a few things to help. One was rescue remedy as soon as I felt that feeling, I also started lighting a candle each evening to remind myself how strong and capable I am. That initial shock of responsibility os huuuuuge! I used to imagine everything being a danger to my dd, even myself because my senses were so heightened to protect her.
Please pm me if you want to chat. I wrote a diary during those early weeks and it shares a lot of this.
You're amazing, and your birth was incredible...try and find that magic in each day...it's in your baby and within you...
Wow, what a beautiful birth! Sounds like it was an absolutely divine experience I wanna give birth at the same place, the family bath afterwards sounded magical.
Wow cherished, that truly is a beautiful birth story, and it sounds like you did so well! The family bath brought tears to my eyes, that is so special.
