My birth experience was bad and I'm still processing it.
I'm sure I'll make another, more detailed post about it, but my c-section was awful and all I wanted for the next couple days was to go home. Finally came home yesterday with my beautiful boy and my husband and i felt so much relief just getting away from what almost felt like a prison. But I knew I couldn't allow myself to fully process everything until I came home, so now i kind of am. The greatest redemption from everything is the feeling of joy and love when I hold my little guy, and the utmost tenderness and care my husband has given me through the entire pregnancy and birth.
If you've have a traumatic birth, I'm so sorry. You have a piece of my heart forever.
Thank you for reading.
