childbirth - it's a one-way ticket

[sarahspoutsoff]

I blog about all kinds of stuff, (family life, parenting, work) but suddenly occurred to me this might be of interest to those of you about to go through labour for the first time, or who have just become a parent.

It never ceases to surprise me with all the seemingly awful tales about labour, how so many of us go back for more :)

The brain has a wonderful capacity to forget ... until it's too late again!

Funnily enough I was thinking about this the other day. I have 3 and inbetween the older 2 I definitely forgot how bad the pain was. This time however I can remember exactly how it felt! Not to the extent that it is causing me any problems though.

I'm scared now :/
