why can't i forgive myself for my labor? - Page 2

I'm in exactly your same boat. I could have written almost every word of your original post. My birth story is posted now. My first delivery was very difficult and traumatic and this one ( failed HBAC) was worse, and I'm having a terrible time coming to grips with the fact that things turned out as they did. I feel like my body is defective and like I failed miserably. I just want you to know that I feel your pain, and that you are not alone in this. Hopefully we can heal and work through this together.

That is so true and so beautifully said. I hope you find healing too.
