Am a newbie but really need advice. I have a four year old DD who was born two months early and I have a five month old DS who was born at term. I had a c section with my first and with my second I laboured but baby was stuck and I had an emergency c section which I was totally gutted about. I was fully dilated and pushing and it all felt like a waste of time. I started bf but gave baby a bottle after a few days cos I was knackered and nipples were bleeding. I carried on trying for weeks but it was a lost cause.
Problem is I think I'm depressed, I am distraught about not bf, get really upset if I see someone else doing it yet am obsessed with reading about it. Am also gutted about crappy birth, feel like such a failure, and its making me relieve all the crapness around my eldests birth and time in SCBU. I have had some very low, dark thoughts, I've been to GP but they weren't much help. Thank you for reading this far!.
