Nope not preggers again but the tickle is still there!
I have been with child 7 times. YES 7!
I have had 1 miscarriage, 1 C-Section and 2 ectopic pregnancies!
In addition to the above, I have also had in no particular order in each pregnancy:
Pre-eclampsia, Eclampsia, watched closely due to sugar in my urine, 1 Placenta Abrupto, 2 Pre-term births, UTI's, GBS, high blood pressure and terribly swollen kankles!
I felt gipped by the TLC channel, What to expect when you are expecting and numerous other things floating around that sell you on a seemingly, wonderful, uneventful birth, with a Doctor that actually listens or cares about your roller coaster emotional state!
Birth is a beautiful thing! Not to be rushed, panicking a new or even seasoned Moms by scaring the crap out of her if she has a glass of wine or took a dose of cold meds during her pregnancy.
Go with your instinct! I didn't have a Doula or a Birth Assistant to bounce ideas off of. Birth positions? Comfort measures? Oh, in a Lamaze they shared some but once you are in the moment your brain decides to rebel and I forgot to breathe!
I also had to remind myself like each child, each of they're births were equally just as different! Not textbook! I didn't look pretty. I sweated. I grunted. I puked. I shook. I was hot and then cold. I tuned everything out at one point and just went inward. Each birth was so unique!
Do what feels good! Believe in yourself Momma! You can do it!
