[quote=Anonymous]Mom at 40 here. This is not a new phenomenon, to the venomous PP poster,  to have other people help with your baby. In the old days, you would have your mother stay with you, you would have aunts, sisters, grandmothers, people in your town etc. It is NOT NORMAL to send a mother home to care for her baby alone. Especially a mom with a C section. And being older doesn't help matters. So i was a 40 year old, with a C section, and no family around-- I have no sisters, no grandmothers alive, and my mom died slowly and horribly from cancer 3years ago (sorry, PP, to burst your bubble that all of us who hire night nurses are spoiled). So yeah, I needed help. My husband had to go back to work after 2 weeks. I used Metropolitan Doulas and they absolutely saved my life and my son's. Regardless of my situation, if someone doesn't feel they can handle the transition to motherhood, be it PPD or whatever, if someone can afford it... why do we judge other women so harshly? I wish we could all walk a mile in the other's shoes and be more compassionate....[/quote]
