awww Gigi I was thinking of you for a long time after birth. Have you had a de-brief?? You too Olivia! I did one after Matilda and it did help heaps. Matilda's birth was very traumatic to me, and although not as traumatic as others births it still had that affect on me. I took time to grieve my natural birth dream and get it out. Gigi I know you had so much passion about birthing & everything got taken out of your hands *hugs* its so devestating. My burn is on my belly... most of the front of my belly.

Anyway... take time to get it out and go to the birth de-brief forum. I had so many people tell me "at least she's healthy..." it was awful no one seemed to understand my grief.

Burn update: my burn is going great guns! No more bandages & looks like a full on sunburn. So heaps heaps better... no more hamburger meat look (sorry TMI). We are going to the beach for 2 days today so salt water should help. I was so worried I wouldn't get to swim.
