As Nicole says, these are the kinds of things that everyone needs to know. I've actually heard a lot of stories now and I think that women are starting to share this more and it makes me quite happy. A book I really like that tries to help moms-to-be deal with and prepare for the fact that birth might not go as expected is "Birthing from Within" by Pam England. I've had two births and the first was a very long 24+ hours, I had pain meds and the epidural though I had originally not wanted anything. But alls well that ends well. {{hug}}Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851016682410280060.post-3393257163135740992013-01-22T01:10:44.936-05:002013-01-22T01:10:44.936-05:00Anytime, sister!

Thank you s...What a thoughtful and wonderful post! Thank you so much for being vulnerable and willing to share your story. I feel blessed by you for bearing witness. You are absolutely right about not being the only one with these issues. My own were different issues, but the fact remains that NOBODY TALKS ABOUT THIS STUFF and yet somehow we (women!) hold ourselves up to each other and judge each other and ourselves so harshly for what appears to be flawed... I remember the lactation nurse coming in, grabbing my breast (painfully!) and flicking my nipple over and over (again, PAINFULLY!) to make it "stand up like a raisin on a cookie". Nobody told me breastfeeding had the potential to feel like my precious baby girl was grinding down on me with HOT PLIERS. So GOOD FOR YOU for sharing your story honey, and I'm so grateful that you did, and I hope you catch some freedom and an extra measure of blessing from it. I'd like to pick a fight with whoever decided what "normal" was supposed to look like anyway! We have GOT to STOP this madness of idealizing what this hard stuff is supposed to be like so that when the hard stuff happens the even harder way, there's acceptance and support and love and community there with NO SHAME. NO SHAME FOR YOU! NONE. Hugs sweet friend!Nickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08390481728071395537noreply@blogger.com
