I think I was more concerned about [daughter's name] and whether she was okay, and the fact that she was distressed… I, I just wanted her to be delivered as fast as possible, to make sure that she was alright. So, any other worries about me didn't really sort of come into play, if you like.
And how did you feel after, about the fact that you'd had a section?
Really quite disappointed.
Right. Could you say a bit more about that?
I just felt that my body had let me down a bit and it, it wasn't something that I'd planned for or sort of… I just assumed that I'd have a natural birth and, and I don't know, I just felt that I'd let myself down a bit, which might sound completely daft [laughs].
No, it's a common, it's a common feeling…
…and I think even now, talking about it, I still think, you know, but then I think, you know, I've got a great daughter and she's healthy and she's fine.
Is that how you feel about it now?
I still sometimes feel a bit disappointed about it. But, not so much now. It does sort of fade over time, I think. |
