Hi all! As the title says, I had an unplanned C Section, after a 24 hour labor. I was fully dilated and effaced, but baby boy never made it down the canal and therefore we had to go the CS route. This is my second pregnancy, but I delivered my first vaginally, so to say I was shocked is an understatement.I am currently 8 days PP. I KNOW I’m in the thick of the baby blues, but man, I am so sad and disappointed that my body failed me. I am recovering as expected, and while I’m super sore and have random gas pains, I am able to move around and interact with my toddler and newborn.My question for mommies of unplanned CS’s, does that feeling of disappointment ever go away? It’s like I’m grieving the birth I had envisioned. We even had a photographer in the L&D room to take pics, and that obviously didn’t happen since only one person is allowed in the OR.I want to know that once hormones settle, I’ll be OK. That I won’t always look back on his birth and wonder what if I had done something differently and maybe my body would’ve pushed him down further?Ugh, post partum is a hell of a ride. via /r/Parenting http://bit.ly/30HygVl
