[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- thank you for the advice and varying perspectives. I was separated from my baby for nearly 5 days while I was in the ICU and he was in the NICU. It was scary, and both physically and emotionally draining for both me and my husband. We are all home now and in many ways, we feel lucky that everyone is safe and together at home. However, I am still processing all of the fear, anguish, and guilt of being away from my baby (and two other children who were at home with a nanny and my parents). My husband is eager to put this all behind us and get back to regular life. I am still pretty shaken up and just want to hold my baby and cry most of the time. I will definitely see a counselor but I like the idea of starting a “self care” regimen to prioritize healing. I want to be a great mom, wife, employee and friend, and I know that in order to do that, I need to take care of this now. [/quote]

I am sorry your birth was traumatic.  You are home now as a family.....focus on that.  You are missing out on precious moments by agonizing over something that is in the past and everyone survived just fine.  Be happy.  Your body was strong enough to handle this and you won!!  [/quote]
