And I hate that your OB didn’t make it any easier for you. You will learn that there are ups and downs to this thing called motherhood, and I believe it is perfectly acceptable to have tearful moments and frustrating days. But just look at that sweet baby girl head — that makes it all worthwhile.

I think it’s perfectly rational to celebrate your daughter and mourn the birth experience you didn’t have. And I do think that, in time, the importance will fade. You will have wonderful new experiences and varied, crappy disappointments. It is all part of the story.

You are definitely not selfish for wishing the birth had gone another way! Surgery is scary, you didn’t want to take medication but were pressured into it, and your OB was … less than helpful or supportive. (I am trying to be polite and not use bad names.)

I echo harri3t’s comment about that last photo. Harper is a darling.

But I think they almost never do. I was in labor for 29 hours. I didn’t plan that. I didn’t plan the pitocin or epidural either. And it worried and bothered me for a while, but in the end, it just became part of the story. And it stopped bothering me and I started to embrace it because no matter what way it happened, it’s the moment we became a family and it’s still hands down the most amazing moment of my life. Your story sounds a bit more traumatic, but it’s still your story. And I think sometime very soon you will be glad to have it. Also, I think that picture of the back of her head is about the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen.

I feel you! We have such a similar story (except Fin was two months early). Here in Steamboat, they don’t do v-backs, so I’m stuck with the ole c-section if there is a next time. If you ever want to chat, shoot me an email! And, you are SO glad you didn’t go with the magnesium. It makes you sick, literally.
