Hey guys ! My Amelia was due March 13th but things have recently changed , she’s breech and the ECV was unsuccessful.. so, she will be here next Thursday March 7th via C-Section. I’m so scared and excited. This is honestly the last thing I wanted and her being my first baby I’m also scared for future pregnancies as I’d love to deliver naturally I had hoped my next baby would be a water birth... Everyone says “oh! At least you don’t have to go through labor!” “I would have loved to have had a c-section.” Ex. I can’t explain it , I mean I don’t care how she gets here, I just feel so let down I can’t go naturally as I wanted, regardless for the comments I wanted that ! The labor ! Contractions! I wanted it all and the videos I watched of births were so beautiful , something about the pain of it was so beautiful.

I’m equally as unexcited about recovery, I have to heal while I care for my newborn by myself. I know , I know either way you have to heal I’m not saying one is worse than the other it’s just that I’m actually depressed over this.

Anyone have any stories or going through something similar ?

Thank you !
