She chose some absolute bangers 😭

Iconic choice honestly

She was my age too, 2 months older, it's so hard

💜💜💜💜

I was taken directly to surgery too, at that point I'd completely disassociated. I lost reality at some point in the last few pushes because of what had/was happening and have very spotty memory for the hours following, which is additional trauma in itself.

Trauma? Well here's also a whole person to keep alive ✨️

I am very much 💜

I was offered a c section after I was taken to birthing for decreased fetal movement because they anticipated a chance of some complications, I said no, if I go back I'm having the C, a fast labour makes that harder 😭😭😭

Literally happened multiple times now that someone who knows I had a traumatic birth just asks when I'm having another baby. Like??? Can you at least wait until the stitches are dissolved to ask lmao.

Its super wild that everyone person in this world was birthed and many births have traumatic experiences like mine and society just expects you to pick yourself up and move on from it immediately.

They keep saying "your labour was really short for your first time so at least your next will be faster" 😭😭

Like I'm so glad I get to do trauma faster next time I guess?

Yeah when the midwife said that I was like... I already had a traumatic birth. You're not selling me on coming back for more 😅

Never been more grateful for adult nappies

💜💜 thank you (and your books) so much

I don't want my kid to hate me ahhaha

Yes this was my first baby!
