GO READ IT people!<br /><br />Yes, I did read Ina May's book and watched her documentary, I think it is called A Birth Story? Or something like that. I'm jealous you got to see her speak in person. She is a really charismatic person who has done a lot for the field she is in. <br /><br />I'm okay with pain. I know there will be pain. I just hope it is not the overwhelming feeling such that that is all I can remember about the experience. We'll see.

If you haven't, I think that you would feel really empowered by the birth stories in that book. <br /><br />From my own experience, birth was painful...there's no hiding that truth. But it was helpful to talk about it in terms of intensity. <br /><br />If you really like birth stories, you can read about my natural (hospital) waterbirth here:<br /><br />http://teachmetobraid.blogspot.com/2012/11/freight-train.htmlEmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15069220262683215373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-31884870151690195542013-07-18T07:57:41.144-07:002013-07-18T07:57:41.144-07:00This post made me tear up a little.

When there is bad stuff, we want to hear about it so we can do our thing and offer support. But then we get to see that the REASON it's the cliff notes version is that all of those things seemed to slide away when you got to be around an actual babe - see your husband father, listen to a story of what sounds like a perfect birth, feel the happy buzz coming from those new parents. I hope this was a brief foray into fear and grayness and that it will leave you the heck alone from here on out. But, if not, bitch away, sisterfriend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914382632005868190.post-53175713209559995412013-07-18T06:18:46.688-07:002013-07-18T06:18:46.688-07:00I'm the same way as you with kids vs babies. ...I'm the same way as you with kids vs babies. And I realized the other day that it's because A) babies are tiny humans and B) they're humans I usually don't know at all, making them strangers. It's hard to hit it off right away with any stranger, especially if she can't tell you what she likes, etc. The relationship we'll have with our own babies will be totally different from the feeling of having a little stranger wriggling around!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03644501843801907359noreply@blogger.com
