((((((((HUGS))))))) I had an unplanned c/s with my first after trying to push for 2 hours and laboring for another 36 hours. He hadn't moved at all with my pushing, so I told the doc that it was a time for a c/s. He was just too big, weight 11 lbs 3.5 oz, 24 inches long, and head 15 inches. I don't remember much and I don't have a video to watch it. I also don't have pictures right after he was born. I also don't remember much of anything the first 24 hours after my c/s because my blood pressure went through the roof and I was under observation for those 24 hours. I am at peace with how he was born and with time you will get there too. I also was not successful with breastfeeding, but I bonded just fine with my little man. My second was a planned c/s, so very different. I remember everything and I hav pictures of her right after she was born and being measured. I decided on the planned c/s because I figured she would be big too, 10 lbs 6 oz, 21 inches long, and head was 15-1/4 inches!

I am to the point now that I am just happy to have them here with me and everytime I look at that scar I am reminded the wonderful day each of my little ones were born.

Hang in there sweety! (((((((((HUGS)))))))))))
