Hope you don't mind a little rant...
A little back story- im 37+6 with my second child. I will be having a repeat c-section on the 27th of Aug. I have a spinal malformation that causes my pelvis to twist instead of the usual relaxing and opening... leading to excruciating pain and immobility. I have been off work and minimally able to walk since 23 weeks this time. I have been in prodromal labour on and off for almost two weeks now.
Yesterday my sister and mum were looking at the pictures of the maternity ward where I will be after the c-section and my sister makes the comment-
"so if you were going to do this the painful way you would be on this ward the whole time"
ummmm.. excuse me??? If I was going to do this the painful way???? Instead of the daily pain I have been in for months, instead of the major surgery I will have to ensure this rainbow arrives safely?
I really had no words and just walked away. Now it has been nagging at me and I have been realizing just how much the comment has upset me. I already feel like a failure.
no real point to this post... just needed to get it out.
