He was faced wrong, could have broken his neck. I certainly bonded post natal, and I knew I was physically incapable of breastfeeding. Vbac was discussed with son 2, until placenta previa presented itself. That was one uncomfortable pregnancy. Son #3 was an obvious csection.
Were you treated for post parthum depression, seeing you felt lack of maternal bonding/connection?
My boys all had three different formulas and are close knit as a family .
I will restate, too much unnecessary societal pressure.

Yes I was treated for postpartum depression. I actually didn't pay attention to society's standards when it came to birthing. I was actually fine with a c-section. Until it happened. It majorly messed me up mentally.
