My daughter has arrived

Filed under: 1. A lurker no longer — webmaster at 7:26 pm on Wednesday, June 17, 2009

June 2, 2009 at 4:37 p.m. She weighed 7lb 3oz and was 19.25 inches long. She looks just like her father and I think she is gorgeous. The labor and delivery was 60 hours longs from start to finish and it is an ugly story which I will try to tell in a cohesive manner at some point.

I will be putting up some posts that may be very disturbing to all of you. These posts reflect the lows of post pregnancy many women have b/c of hormones and various other things. Please know that as you are reading them that these posts are basically written when I’m feeling at my lowest. It seems I write most when I’m having trouble and not during the good times. These posts are my darkest thoughts and are not my true thoughts and only really show up when I’m having a hormonal crying jag. I am told these are normal crying jags but I really want to get the sad and depressing thoughts out of my head and onto virtual paper — it seems to help me get through the moment faster. I am depressed but please don’t worry — I am talking to someone (actually my husband and I are talking to someone). I just know that writing stuff down is part of the process I need to follow to get past the hard parts.

Please do not feel you need to try to cheer me up — I am posting the posts b/c I really feel it will help me to get the stuff out of my system. I also don’t know if I will be able to clarify any of the posts if they are confusing to read which they probably will be. I think that is just a part of the throwing up on the paper/computer that I will be doing. There is no clarification — the feelings are just what they are when I have them.

Congrats on your daughter!

Any negative feelings you post, I’ll probably say, “Yes, I hear you loud and clear!” The early weeks after childbirth are an awful experience, even when you are overjoyed to welcome that little one into your life. The sleep deprivation, hormones, and physical pain from labor and (if applicable) breastfeeding just beat you up.

Hope you are adjusting as well as possible.

Hey sweetie

Well done you! I’m so excited for you - does she have a name yet?

I cried so much in the weeks after Barney was born. It’s so much to take in AND we’ve been on hormones for so long anyway.

I also had a long labour and a C section but you do recover. Breastfeeding is flipping hard and there’s so much pressure to do it from all angles. Sleep deprivation - which i’m still enjoying nearly EIGHT months later is also pretty hard.

It DOES get easier, I promise you. One day she’ll smile at you and it’ll all seem do-able.

Huge hugs xxxx

Congratulations M - such fabulous news!

I hear you on the other stuff, we’re due to go in for an induction at the end of this week and I just can’t manage to bring myself to be happy or enjoying this, it’s just so freaking hard. We’re here when you need to vent…. x

Hi, I haven’t been by for a while (been taking a break from blogs) but I am so happy to come back and read you have a daughter, congratulations. I am sorry about the bad parts of the story. I think I write a lot more when things are going badly, and I do think it helps to get it all out. There are also things I feel so sad and angry about, even though I think, “Isn’t this better than NO child?” In the worst moments I don’t know which makes me feel even more terrible. Good luck during this time, and coping with it. I hope life is easy on you for a while and gives you space and energy.
