Is it normal to still feel like this?

[sprite25]

I had my third baby 7 weeks ago, so I know it's not that long ago but is it normal to feel traumatised by the birth 7 weeks later? For some reason when trying to sleep at night I start thinking about the birth and get a mix of emotions ranging from traumatised/panicky to angry and have to stop myself from thinking about it all before it gets too much. I had slight post natal depression with my first baby but this doesn't feel like that, as I only feel this way when thinking about the actual birth. It's making me feel sad as well as I feel like it's going to stop me from ever having another baby for fear of going through another difficult birth. I don't really know where I'm going with this just hoping someone can tell me it's normal and will go away, such a shame as my second birth went so well

Certainly if the birth was traumatic it would be understandable to feel this. It may even be a form of PTSD. The timing would be about right. Could be worth discussing with midwife/GP. It would be a shame to dampen your new baby experience if there is something you can be helped with to resolve/process it properly. It sounds like this maybe what you need.
