Thought it may be time to move over to the 'Pregnancy' boards

Congratulations @Mimi91 ❤️ sorry to hear you had a traumatic birth and aftercare. I had a bit of a traumatic labour too, and it really affected my mood these first few weeks, especially with the lack of sleep. I've found talking about it helps a lot and I'm starting to feel a bit better about things. I'll put my birth story here at some point, wanted to wait until everyone had had their babies first!

Hope you're enjoying your time with Orla despite what happened ❤️

I can't believe we all have our babies now! Feels forever ago now that we were all going through the ups and downs of TTC!

@MrsS147 bless you, I'm sorry to hear that. In all honesty, when I wrote the post below, it was a bit of a brain dump. Just felt I needed to write some of it down before I forgot some details. The labour, delivery and aftercare were all awful for different reasons and don't think I'm quite ready to fully go back there either.

My sisters are amazing and have bullet pointed things I have told them and the dates these happened, so I can revisit and piece together when ready.

It's easy enough for people to tell you you're just tired and hormonal, but childbirth is crazy intense, so to throw in extra trauma and a pandemic, it's not surprising we're feeling the way we are.

We have done something so incredible though and we still are (on minimal sleep).

Sending love 💕

@Mimi91 congratulations! What a beautiful name! So sorry to hear you had a traumatic experience. Mine was quite mixed - I gave detailed feedback to the hospital - it helped me process it all!

Hope you're all doing well.
