Getting over my emergency c section
About 2 weeks ago, i had a healthy beautiful baby girl. All throughout pregnancy everything was normal and ready for a natural delivery. I always just assumed things would go according to my birth plan. However on the day of her arrival, and although labor was a breeze (took epidural and it was fairly short), when it came to delivery, i pushed for 2 hours and ive had little to no progress (doc even tried foreceps with no help). So in fear of infection, bleeding and fetal distress, my doc moved me to an emergency c section.
I know this is for the best for both me and my baby but ever since delivery and i have been feeling like a "failure" somehow. Feeling tht my body failed to do what it was made to do and asking myself endless "what ifs" questions. "What if i had eaten better tht day and had more energy?", " what if i hadnt given up this easily and pushed more?" "What if i attended a birthing class and had more experience?"...etc.
Anybody passed through this before? How did u get over this feeling? And any successful vbac stories given that i was fully dialated?
TIA ladies..
