Has anyone else who had a difficult birth experienced this? Had a difficult birth about 13 months ago but both me and baby we're fine after a few days. I'm still so sensitive when people bring up the topic of birth. I try to avoid the subject but that doesn't always work. It doesn't matter what people say it just makes me feel bad in some way even when they are trying to be helpful. Recently someone told me that they felt sorry for me that week and someone else said my baby had 'put me thru the mill' that week. I know these people were trying to be supportive so I don't understand why I still felt bad after the discussion. I think there is literally nothing they could say that wouldn't make me feel bad in some way. Even if they are talking about someone else's birth and make no reference to DCs birth I still feel a bit upset. Is this normal? Does it go away? Anyone found something that helps? I actually feel fairly positive about DCs birth myself it's just when talking to other people. I'd at least like to be able to talk to other people about their births without feeling so sensitive.
