Today in class, we finished our video about pregnancy and the birth process. I knew exactly what was coming and in a sense I felt goosebumps crawling all over my skin. It was a feeling of anticipation, uncertainty, and of being hit right in the face with reality. The reason being that the last part of the video would show the actual birth of a baby. Nothing left to the imagination.
I know the body prepares itself and it’s a natural process but the amount of dialation that occurs, ouch!
I watched as the lady clutched the bed rails and her caring husband swept her hair off her face and soothed her. It all seemed so innate and certain. As I heard her shrill gasps and cries, I cringed. But it was when the head began to come out. That’s when it all changed for me.
Call it womanly hormones, call it sentimental, call it the beauty of life. Whatever it is, it got to me. I got all choked up inside. I saw the newborn baby and felt the urge to comfort it, kiss its tiny little head, and touch its fragile, pink toes and fingers.
It takes that to remind me, but someday, when it’s time, I’ll love every moment of it. I’m sure I’ll take any pain killers anyone is dishing out : P …
But embrace the labor and birth of my precious new born, bundle of joy! J

I used to cry when I watched a birth on a TV programme...now I will find out for myself EXACTLY how it feels in August. Am I scared? No. Will I be requiring pain relief? Oh yes. Lol x
