Thank you so much for your compliments! I am so sorry to hear that you experienced this when giving birth to your son. I can’t imagine the pain you felt. Please don’t say you failed, you delivered your son and that is the most important goal of all. Everything else is a goal a desire but it’s not going to always work out the same for everyone.

It is very hard being a parent right from the beginning. When I couldn’t breastfeed my second born for a year (as I desired) I felt like a failure. I was so ashamed and upset with myself. But then I had people remind me I did the best I could, I went for as long as I could but the most important thing is that he ate.

Thank you for sharing your experience with me and commenting. I am so sorry about what you went through. At this point are you done having children? I ask that because I know of success stories with VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean).
