Will my baby forget me? 💔
Hiya everyone! I hope you’re doing good
I had an emergency c section 2 weeks ago, and I was staying with my mum afterwards.
4 days ago I started getting intense pains - they initially thought it was to do with the c section, but they later discovered it was appendicitis. So I had surgery yesterday. They said that I’m quite unwell so I’ll have to be in hospital for a few more days.
I feel so heartbroken that I’m not with my baby, but i know it’s better that she’s at home and my mum is taking good care of her.
I’m just scared and worried that I’ll lose my bond with her, that she’ll prefer my mums comfort to mine, that she’ll forget me 😢
I’m scared and worried. Is this a genuine worry?

Can’t you take baby with you? Not for the surgery but afterwards?
@Charlotte I was thinking this initially, but they said that a surgical ward isn’t the best place for a baby, and also I feel she’ll feel more comfortable at home
@Mamoona that’s makes sense. Your baby girl will be excited to have you home safe and healthy. Best of luck and keep us updated x
The baby will absolutely not forget you, remember they've been constantly with you for the 9 months in the womb too, you're the most familiar person in the whole world for her! x Bringing something with your smell to them is a good idea, also calling and talking/singing to her might be good - she knows your voice well 😊

I had twins in separate hospitals due to being preemies and I couldn't be discharged due to pre eclampsia, so spent time away from my little boy, so I feel your pain! It'll be okay, having things with babies scent on will help you, and giving baby things with your scent will help baby. Hope you're okay x
