I had what I'll call an unpleasant experience giving birth to DD. I still feel pretty scared and upset now (a few months later) and have been looking round the internet for help. I posted on another forum and was basically told that I should get over it by a rather patronising individual (she called me "hun" too, grrr), as apparently unless you both nearly die it's just normal and "labour does hurt" - thanks, that's a big help.
I've only seen my HV once so don't feel inclined to approach her, and don't know any of the GPs very well to know if they'd think I was wasting their time, but I would like a debrief as read about here on MN, as the thought of going through labour again makes me not want another baby and I sometimes have nightmares.
What do you think? Should I speak to someone or would I be wasting their time and should I just carry on trying to forget about it?
