So very glad my daughter is here safe and sound! but had any got any advice on how to get over the trauma of having an…

i also had an emergency section back in February for the same reason as you, my son was back to back and my pelvis was too narrow, which somehow they didn't realise until i was 9cm dilated! i had a really awful time but i found the best way to come to terms with it was talking to my family nurse, she was very reassuring for me. if you have a health visitor maybe chat with her about it! but honestly ur in no way a failure, you've given birth to a gorgeous healthy baby💘 i know this is easier said than done but make sure you rest, also short walks every so often helps a lot with healing too! try to stay positive and enjoy these first weeks with ur newborn they go so fast👶🏽 congrats xx

Inbox me anytime hun :) 9.5 months later...I'm actually coming to terms with what happened...I shut it out of my mind for a long time...not purposely...sometimes the body does that as a way of coping xxx

I congratulate you on your little girl hun! 😍😍😍😍 She is gorgeous! xxx

Awe hun! You've not failed at all! Some women's pelvises are too narrow to deliver naturally :) You did a great job! Has any support been offered to you hun? Counselling for after birth trauma? My delivery wasnt a walk in the park either....her head was stuck at an odd angle....so she wouldn't decend....I told the midwives that something wasnt right...they kept feeling up there and telling me to push....its only after an hour when the doc came in and felt up there that her found out my daughters head was at the wrong angle... I was rushed to theatre for a forcep delivery and was prepped for csection just incase it failed. It worked but...My uterus then stopped contracting... My placenta wasnt coming out...I was also cut and was losing a lot of blood....I lost 3 litres I total.....the docs and everyone were on a rush to keep me alive...my heart was going down...my blood pressure went down...temp went down...they had to get a warm blanket to raise my temp...when all the happened...My OH and daughter had to stay back.... I had a nurse etc...either side pumping me with stuff...I was just looking to either side of me watching...they were explaining everything to me...I was oblivious at the time to the severity of my condition...infact I felt fine.. Xxx

This could happen to anyone of us. It's not your fault or inability to give birth. If you would have tried, something way more worse could have happened to your baby.

Just be happy, that your little one is healthy. So many babies are born via C section, and they're all happy. Try to focus on the positive. 💖

C-sections are done when it's the only possible way to deliver the baby safely. For you & baby. It's by no means a failure. Congratulations btw She's beautiful
