Mary,
You said in your posting that you felt empty. Yes. My daughter was
born on a Friday am and I held it together pretty well until Saturday
night. My husband and I had a conversation with one of the neonatologists
and I guess it just really hit us all of the things that could go wrong.
I had already lost one baby, I COULDN'T lose another. I finally let
go of all of those emotions I had kept in check during the "let's delay
this labor and delivery" phase. I cried. So hard. I was a mother
without a baby. I had milk and no one to hold. Tears come now, almost
3 years later, when I think of it. I think I will always feel a bit
cheated. I LIKED being pregnant. So yes, I understand empty.
