depression after preterm labour stopped

Hello,
so a couple of weeks ago I was admitted to hospital in preterm labour at exactly 33weeks. they managed to stop it and I was moved to the pregnancy/induction ward. I went into active labour again (I was a good 4cm dialated) but once again after pushing.lots of drugs they managed to stop it.
I was in hospital for a week, and was next to the recovery ward, I was put with all the inductions so was constantly watching women in labour who would then go on to have their babies, i could hear the babies crying from the ward next door, and felt like a failure for being in active labour twice and not having a baby,
ever since I have been released I can't look at babies without crying and constantly feel sad,
has anyone else gone through this? it feels like postnatal depression but without having the baby

Sorry you feel that way ❤️

The best way to think of it is the longer baby stays in, the better it is for them.
As much as you want your baby here, baby needs more time.
If you had your baby now, they with probably spend a few weeks in NICU.
