I have posted numerous times here and in pregnancy topics about having to have a planned CS after my first baby was left brain damaged after a cock up during an assisted delivery.
The CS, despite being assured that I'd be up and about swiftly and it was the better option was anything but. It seems I'm one of those extremely unlucky people who gets hit like a bus by surgery and I'm only just up on my feet a month later. I should add there were a few complications I wasn't just malingering!
Anyway. Its taken me a while to work out why I feel so odd. I just don't feel like I've had a baby. I adore my dc2, lovely baby even when she is screaming at me (like now) but although my stomach looks butchered and my boobs look like Katie Prices' I don't actually feel like I've had a baby. Having had dc1 naturally even though it went desperately wrong and I didn't hold her for eight days I still knew I'd given birth to her.
Anyone else felt this way? And if so how did you resolve it?
