So I posted a question on facebook about those who have had natural childbirth or tried. It was interesting to see who I know that has at least attempted it. Some of them made complete sense, others were surprising.
Another surprise came when two people I know who have had cesareans were both telling me that they aren't so terrible. It's not that I don't believe them, don't get me wrong... I've had surgery before and I survived and I would say the same thing to anyone that asked. I just can't help but want to avoid it if possible. Of course I know that the reason I want doctors close by are because sometimes there are times where a cesarean is needed. Of course I know that.
I am keeping my eye on the prize today, really thinking about the fact that while no birth is the same and that complications arise and change the way you think things will happen, this is going to be a beautiful day for my husband and I.
Regardless of the pain I endure, or perhaps the cesarean that may or may not take place I know the prize will be wonderful. Our little girl will be there in our arms and we will be happy because of it.
