Today has been kind of a roller coaster of a day. Besides me being tired but still pushing through. My cousin in Texas welcomed a baby girl today, her fourth baby, she had her naturally and she’s beautiful. It just happened to make me very emotional because I truly feel like I was robbed of my birth. I understand I had gestational diabetes and it’s not recommended to go past 40w. Although my baby was perfectly fine, I was going to my NST’s, everything was good. I just felt pressured even from family for selfish reason to hurry and go in to get induced. My baby was just not ready and I feel like if I could have waited at least until my due date maybe I could have had him natural. Maybe it’s PP trying to kick it but I’m in tune with my emotions and just sat in it. I am glad my baby is here whether it was through c-section but idk my thoughts just took over in that moment. Although I’m a new mommy, this is the more that comes with it
. Also trying not to compare my birth story with others but it just happened. The quote I’m inserting as a picture went so perfectly with today. momandmore
Stay strong mama. It’s such a blessing to have a healthy baby! I kind of understand what you’re going through. I had my first baby at 37 years old, plus gestational, hypertension, and hypothyroidism. Even though I was in induced, I deliver the baby naturally.
Last week, my sister-in-law delivered her first baby, naturally. In July, I had a miscarriage. When she had her baby, I was happy, sad, and jealous. I think it’s just human nature that we want things to go our way, even though if that is not the way that it happened.
Sending you hugs, momma!
Awe mama! I feel you. Getting induced is hard. And to have it end in c section is harder. You tried so hard too. I wish you could have done it natural as well. I’m sorry your family was pressuring you. No one should make you feel that way. It’s okay to have your feeling but if it every feels out of control please reach out to a professional. It’s okay to ask for help especially early postpartum when your hormones are adjusting. You are incredible strong and an amazing mama!
Yes thank you for sharing. And so sorry about your loss. Sending abundant blessings and loving light your way. Yeah it was just so random, I’m congratulating her and happy then get off the phone and start thinking of my experience and boom. I didn’t sit in it too long but definitely was aware. Thank you love ![]()
This is exactly what I needed to read again as I was posting myself with my freshly new hair that I didn’t realizE I needed done for a while now! I remember how much I love the daily quotes. Thanks for sharing![]()
Hang in there mama, you went through a lot and are so strong!
Yeah it just creeped up on me after I finish talking to her. I will def reach out when needed, as long as I get it out some way and deal with it, I’m usually fine. But I’m also pretty open with like my doula and others that’s been helping along the way from like organizations.
You’re more than welcome. That’s why I got my hair done before I have birth so I wouldn’t have to touch it for a while. The quotes help so much.
I truly did. Thank you love ![]()

Yes I feel when I’m upset about something. Talking to some one helps so much even if it’s on here!
Yes exactly and this has become my safe place and like a journal to share things. It helps a lot.
Yes! It’s been amazing being part of this group! It’s helped me so much! Being at home can feel so isolated!
