Lenora's Birth Addendum
So, I have been avoiding going on because I know that there are people who are reading this who have had experiences that are 100 times more intense than mine. That I don't want to seem as if I am wallowing in self-pity or that my experience was so very terrible. Because it wasn't and it was. It was a very intense 6 days that led to a very intense 6-8 month period of postpartum depression. And I am just now beginning to see the light. So I guess. I know and admire the ladies in my life who have gone through similar and scarier experiences and I do not make light of mine or yours. I can only testify to what happened to my family, and that ultimately I have a very healthy happy baby girl. So as I go on, please remember that I know it could have been much worse, even witnessed the most terrible of outcomes for one family in the NICU, but it was a highly intense time for me. Something I am still trying to process.
