Progress...
I admit I am one of those C-section mothers who could not fall in love with their babies immediately after birth. I was not governed by much maternal instinct then so I had to rely on whatever research or knowledge I had gathered to cope with new motherhood. My favourite self-talk phrases were "mind over matter", "no choice" and "bite the bullet" when negativity lingered too long around me. I never spoke of my post-natal depression to anyone (only a brief discussion with my GP), but I have been very carefully monitoring my condition. After being plagued by constant and intense dose of fear, guilt, unexplained anger and bouts of crying spells for almost a year, I am happy to say that I am alright now (not 100% but almost) and I am ready to move on.

I'm sure all the blogger mummies are always ready to lend u a shoulder to cry on (but actually our flabby tummy provides better cushioning). haha...
ReplyDeleteHey, I think you have done a great job looking after Sophie! She's so well fed and I think you're one of the most patient mommy I've seen. I think Sophie is very very blessed to have you! You're everything to her! NOBODY can replace you in her heart! :)
