That was a long, rough journey for you. You've given a very matter-of-fact account of it... I'm sure it was actually much harder than you've described for you.
I hope this helps you on your road to healing. And I hope that the breast-feeding continues to go well. At least you will have success there, where you didn't for an intervention-free birth (*knocks on wood). Sometimes our bodies just don't want to co-operate with our wills. :-/ Just remember how much success you had in bearing Ducky. You made it through nine months of pregnancy with no major hitches, laboured for quite some time, and are feeding your baby well. Actually giving birth is definitely an important part of it, but it is only one piece in a much bigger puzzle. You tried your best, and made decisions based on your and your baby's safety rather than your preferences. That shows maturity and strength.
