my daughter is almost 8weeks old, im a single mum, i never knew you could have so many mixed emotional about becoming a mother, iam amazed at how much i already love tyler, but am still havin a hard time getting over my labour, i had a pretty bad labour and i almost died... i could feel myself drifting of... and as much as i look at her and feel blessed some how does'nt make it any easier... does and one know how im feeling and if so how did u move on from it?

Congratulations on the birth of your little girl!

It is very daunting being at home with a new baby, especially after a difficult birth. My first was a very traumatic experience and it did take me a while to "forgive" him (for want of a better word!) That immediate love we feel for our children comes with that other overwhelming feeling of parenthood....guilt! This is something else new parents have to deal with!! I felt guilty for holding his birth against him even though i loved him totally, it just took time! when i look back on the whole birth thing now it is a distant memory that, with the knowledge i now have, i will never let happen again.
Try to enjoy the "now" with your baby, they are so small for such a short time, and the guilt thing.....well i think thats for life!
Enjoy
