Can't get over it

Is anyone else having a rough time dealing with the fact that they had a c section. I'm 7 weeks pp and I'm still mourning my natural, unmedicated, vaginal delivery. I don't think I'll ever be at peace with my c section.

I hate my body now. I can't even look at myself in the mirror. And the saddest thing is, I've never taken credit for having a baby. I don't feel like I delivered a baby, because I didn't. A doctor did all the work. I did nothing, I just laid there and felt them tugging and pulling a baby out of me. I didn't do any work though.

I'm grateful she's here healthy and happy, but I didn't have her.
