Just a mom sharing her thoughts

I gave birth 5 days ago when my child was only 38 weeks few days. I have been keeping this to myself but feel i needed to let it out as i feel it eating me and slowly making me depressed. I am feeling really guilty for inducing labour. Reason why i did was due to baby size. I could have waited for the right time but didn’t want to go for c sectiondue to baby big size so decided to induce and have baby early. I don’t know why but i feel like I forced it out and now i am missing being pregnant at the same time guilty for forcing birth. If you get what i mean? Haven’t been myself lately. Just hope letting out will make me better

Momma’s feelings matter too! don’t beat yourself up for choosing to induce because what matters is you had the birth plan you wanted and baby is healthy and physically with you now. I’m sure it’s the hormones at play right now. Do speak with your husband or loved one for support ok? Hang in there 💪🏻

Thank you for being kind and nice and not judging me. Thank you for taking your time to reply me. Though this isn’t my first pregnancy, this time round, i find it very hard to feel normal and okay again. But thank you again.
