Hi I was wondering how anyone else who has gone threw this felt afterwards.
I had my son 7 weeks ago by emergency section at 41 weeks . He is my 5th child but mine and my dh first child together. We didn't think we wanted any more then the 4 I already had but in 2014 I had an eptopic and everything changed for both of us . So 2 moth after we was married we fell pregnant and was so happy . The pregnancy wasn't to bad apart from pgp and morning sickness . 40 weeks came and I was so ready to have him I had sweep 1 but nothing happened then sweep 2 few days later I had what I thought was mucus plug . Felt I should know by baby 5 but his birth was a fer bit different to my others . 2 days later there was no moments so I rang hospital and was told to come in . I went in and everything was fine but they decided to induced.
I was taken to delivery at 4 they examined me and I was 2 cm so they tried to pop my waters they midwife couldn't do it so she got a consultant who took ages to pop them but after the midwife pushing my bump and her doing her bit she finally made a small hole and waters went but unfortunately nothing happened so 2 hours later they decided to put me on the drip and then midwives changed . Hours later and upping the drip nothing was happening just period pains . Then at 3am contractons every 4mins then every 1 min gas and air wasn't doing anything and the midwife was convinced I was about to have him . I begged her to check me as I had had a strange sting up the sides of my bump and I really didn't feel well . She just said it was the gas but I knew somthing was wrong . After begging she finally checked and I was 3 cm dilated I couldn't belive it . So she gave me the injection to help with pain and a consultant came to monitor the baby as his heart kept dropping . She tried to put a thing on his head but couldn't get it to stay
I was in so much pain and kept telling them I was ill and it want right but they kept saying it was the drugs .
Then she decided to do an emergency section . The anithatists decided he didn't want to do a spinal so they knocked me out . I rember lots of questions and being shouted at a lot to answer but I just couldn't I was so weak and then the knocked me out . Next thing I know I'm waking up thinking I was dead. I was told baby was born at 5am and weighEd 8lb 2 . I was so upset I mises the first 3 hours of his life I finally met him at 8.30 am . Dr's kept trying to tell me what had happened but I was so groggy
But finally they told me that when the cut me my old scar had opened and my womb had torn up both sides . The baby was in a womb full of blood staring up at them I had to have a blood transfusion as I lost over 2 liters of blood I just couldn't belive it .
My husband keeps worrying as I don't have much feeling about what happened I don't know how I should feel and just wanted to see if anyone was the same x

I don't think there is a "normal" way to feel after such a traumatic experience. Do you feel depressed or traumatised? Or just numb? It may hit you later, or it may not. You could always ask for a birth debrief if you think talking it through might help
