My labour was intense and quick - just how they say it can be for subsequent pregnancies! Dilated to 10cm within an hour of arriving at the hospital. Pushing took a while because her little head kept slipping back but finally, our little bundle of joy, Zoe, arrived healthy and crying loud. We're so in love and grateful for our smooth delivery, despite the fright of rushing to the hospital so last minute!

There's definitely a spectrum of emotions that we can experience, especially during such milestones in life. Does that intensity last long or do things get more predictable later? I'm curious as to how our village elders or seasoned mothers would describe the postpartum period.

it's quite the emotional rollercoaster, and reminding each other that it's okay to feel it all is so comforting! Birth tales and sharing our experiences help us validate our feelings. I'm glad we're on this journey together!

Absolutely! This group and these discussions have helped me process a lot of emotions - the excitement, the fear, the anxiety and also the awe and wonder at what our bodies can do. It's such a comfort to know we are all here supporting each other through this incredible journey! I love hearing everyone's experiences and how strong and determined every momma is regardless of the outcome because it truly is a tough but rewarding gig!
