C-section sadness??
Anyone else out there dealing with this? I went into labor with my 2nd baby the 14th of this month. I stayed home until i absolutely could not. When i got to the hospital i was dialated to a 4. I was determined to try and have my baby naturally because my first baby was an emergency c-section. Born in 2009 his cord had got tangled around his neck, hand and foot. It was a mess but he made it! Anyways, back to my story... a short while later the on call doctor came in and checked me. I was progressing smoothly but she said the baby hadn't moved down into place and was still high up. So she suggested breaking my water to move things along... this is where i think i messed up. I dialated all the way to a 7 1/2 and they started having trouble with the babies heart beat. It kept going down. Next thing i know i was flying down the hallway with my s.o. following behind to deliver via c section. I'm not trying to sound selfish. I'm beyond blessed my baby is here safely. But it broke my heart. They're always talking about with c sections 3 is the limit and i feel like i tried so hard for everything to go right and it just didn't. I guess it makes me sad because i always wanted a big family and i feel like that just isn't in my plans anymore. Please don't judge. I get it... I'm super blessed to be a mommy. I know that and I'm thankful for that.... but as a woman... i feel like a failure.
