Hi Everyone,

Sweetdragonflyblue....I, too, separated my son's birth from my son.  Sometimes you need to do that.  My birth experience involved abusive medical personnel and a deviant doctor.  Separating the ugly perversion just prior to the C Section birth was the only thing to be done in order to free myself and my baby from attaching  the  negative thoughts of that experience with the joy of my new baby.

While the baby is grown, I'm still dealing with the aftermath of that experience.
Look for my book and patient advocacy programs for women who were either medically abused, or subjected to previous abuse to obtain safe medical care when they have to enter the hospital system.  

This work is extremely important but never as important as the people I come into contact with.  Anyone who feels safe to share their experiences  me may do so.

Best Wishes!

Welcome sweetdragonflyblue,

~We'd love to hear your story!

My daughter Talia Rose was born by emergency c-sect in Orlando, FL at 35 weeks when we were headed to a family vacation. Then she was in the NICU for 5 weeks, while my sweet hubby and other kids went back home to the rocky mtns. I was alone and scared and also was hit with PPD.

Talia is 2 now, I just try to think of _her_ as seperate from her birth. Anyone else do that? I feel it took me over a year to function again.

How is everyone out there?

Let's hear what is going on in your lives!
