part 3 of 3. I wrote this in 2016 as a letter to my midwife (who wasnt there when my induction spiralled into an emergency c section, as happens to so many). When I read this again I realise, I was doing well when I wrote this. I have relapsed into ptsd a few times since. Sometimes when I pass by the hospital I still get really sad. I have moved on though. Went on to have a second birth (a very hard fought vbac, which was not as traumatizing, but it was not ok either). I continued blogging (in Dutch, I’m from Belgium.). When I find the time I will translate some more posts here. I also started a phd on the history of birth. It’s fascinating. If I can, I’ll share some of that too 😊 #csection #postpartumjourney #babyblues #postpartumdepression #maternalhealth #maternalmentalhealth #birthtraumaawareness #birthtraumaawarenessweek2019
