Congratulations! I'm happy you're both home and healthy. Awesomeness that your hubby gets to be at home with you all for 10 weeks!

Don’t apologize for anything! Your experience does not need to match the worst to be valid. So glad you have your sweet baby home now💘

I had a similar birthing experience as you. I was full term when I went into labor. When I was pushing my baby’s heart rate dropped and after he came out the nurses and midwife said he had aspirated meconium. So I got to hold him for maybe 2 minutes before the army of nurses took him to the NICU. They had pumped so much meconium out his little body. I told my husband to follow the baby while I stayed in the room. Turns out I had a 4th degree tear and I had also hemorrhaged. Blood everywhere. I got about 30 stitches in total. My baby had to be put on oxygen for a day and a half and had to be under the blue light as well. He was there for a total of 5 days. When I was discharged without him I sobbed so hard. And I sobbed everyday until he came home. But like you, I also had a toddler at home and had to put on a smile while I was in pain physically and mentally. I was really upset and sad at the fact that I didn’t have that beautiful after birth experience with my baby. So I completely understand where you are coming from. It’s been 3 years and my baby is now a toddler that is so playful, silly, and a daredevil 😂. Hang on there mom. You’re doing great! I hope you and your family are forever in great health. ❤
