C section emotions!

Erica
I just had my baby boy Joel he's 2weeks and a day today. I'm really emotional today can't stop crying. I had a c section and I felt like I failed to push him out naturally. I also felt detached from him. I felt like they took him away from me. At first I was kind of numb and it didn't feel real to me. Now I guess it's hitting me that I had a c section and that he's mine. It was hard Joel was on a breathing tube and had a infection in his blood from me having a fever and a infection when my water broke. I couldn't hold him for two days then when I did I felt physically weak from the c section still and that's when I felt I couldn't take care of him. I feel guilty for feeling this way and afraid to tell people. But now I know I'm not the only one. I love my baby boy I just want to be strong enough to take care of him.
