Not a mother, but I have seen my wife struggled too during the pregnancy and the first few days of her giving birth through caesarian operation. I can say that it was hurtful for sure as she had a hard time recovering, there are some side effects from the medicine injected too.
Kudos to you on being an amazing mom! There are surely mistakes that happened but it is a part of our learning process in becoming a good parent for our little one.
Greetings... How nice that you were able to be with your wife in those moments of trial that we women go through when God gives us the blessing of being moms. And yes, we do make mistakes that teach us and enable us to teach others. I hope you continue to support your wife at all times in the hard work of parenting.
