First birthday // traumatic labour

Just an I see u to anyone who experienced/s what I did today 🫶🏼 I have been so excited happy and emotional about my baby turning 1 today, and I still do feel all these things and can’t wait for a lush little day today! BUT at 8am I had this overwhelming thought in my brain of this being the exact time that everything started going wrong in front of me this time last year.. I felt it, processed it and I’m over it but just made a post for anyone who may have experienced the same as it’s an isolating moment on such a happy day! 💖 happy bday to any of my LO’s bday twins!!!

Have you got a debrief about the trauma. Ive recently reached out to 'birth in mind' to discuss my birth as talking about it to a new friend made me realise that i have a lot of anger and fear from mine and would like to know more about what had happened before trying for baby number 2

So on the 11th I was induced and on the 12th he was born after a 24 hour shit show of an induction. So…this year on the 11th I sent baby to nursery and checked myself into a spa for the afternoon. I took the 11th back as a celebration day for me, and the 12th is my baby’s day. ❤️

@Jess I genuinely feel like I’ve processed it in and spoke about it in the first few months and I don’t fear any future labours if I’m lucky to have any! I’m just such a reflective person that I knew I’d have some feelings about it today but I’m okay!!

@Hayley love this & why bloody not!!! Changing the narrative of the 11th for you is taking control of the trauma love ittt
