Hello all!

This is Dana, the new moderator.
I am so excited that we are doing a new group, to shut out spam.
I have been so blessed to have this group, and I am thrilled to see
it continue.

My story is that Talia Rose (now 20 months) was born by emergency c-
section in Florida, when we were headed on a family reunion
vacation. Talia's placenta was not sufficient to feed her, so date
wise she was 35 weeks, she was the size of 2 months early, 3 lb 7
oz.

Then after only 6 days, my hubby and my other(mostly home-birthed)
kids headed back to Colorado while I had to stay and pump and care
for the baby. I had to ask permission to hold her, to feed her. They
drove me crazy. They finally released her after long 5 weeks.

After a year of PPD, and tons of people not understanding me, I now
want to help other women somehow find a way to go on. It can be so
hard that the sun continues to go around the Earth after we are hurt
so badly. Surely it would give a little pause! Somehow life dares to
go
on.

While I am certainly not happy with the events that happened to me,
I am glad for the fruit it has brought into my life; Compassion and
understanding of other's hurts.

My heart is to give other women a safe, non judgmental place to
work through their thoughts and feelings.

Blessings and Peace to you, as you find your path through!
