It's been so nice to read your stories and see that I'm not alone in having these feelings. Some of the feelings are so hard to describe to people who haven't experienced it -- lots of people have the simplistic view that if you have a healthy baby, you should just get over any feelings about how s/he got here. And sometimes I feel that way too, and it just makes me feel guilt and embarassment on top of all the painful stuff I'm already feeling.
