[quote=Anonymous]I empathize with the feeling of being broken by becoming a Mom and just having no clue ahead of time. I was healthy, running, 14% body fat, eating well….and all hell broke loose. I had an emergency C-section with my one and only kid 5 weeks early. It took me 6 weeks after delivery before I could walk up the stairs. Kid & I were so sick I hired a high school girl who was next door to come help 5 hours a day. But, given I lived through a very rare & deadly condition starting at 11 weeks pregnancy, I was lucky to be alive. If doctors had known the genetic condition I had, they would have recommended I never have a child. As it was, when I was in the hospital at 20 weeks, my doctor had to literally throw “helpful” nurses out of my room as they kept trying to tell me that it’s ok to save myself if I needed to terminate and try again later. I’m pro-choice and looking back I know they meant well, but at the time, I was a mess after crying & shaking.

Husband got fixed weeks after I delivered, and I was resentful he did that for a long time…..even if I knew in my head I wouldn’t make it through a second time. 
My kid is away at university now. We are really close. ❤️ They grow up. It does get easier.

People should go look at the tombstones of old cemeteries. Women & children died all the time. Thank God for modern science.

I wish the OP peace and healing after your delivery, whatever which way you decide. [/quote]
