This time eleven years ago I was about to embark on one of the biggest challenges of my life.....
This time eleven years ago I was terrified!!.....
I'd only ever been in hospital to have my appendix out and it was so rushed as it was about to burst I never had chance to really think about it so there was no fear!!
This time eleven years ago I was preparing myself to go into hospital and have a cesarean section....
To become a mother for the first time!!!!
I knew nothing about babies....I did childcare at college but that was just dealing with little one's when they could walk, talk and do things for themselves....Babies were a whole different thing!!
This time eleven years ago I was out shopping buying the last of things I needed for a baby!! Even though I'd bought everything weeks before but was convinced I'd forgotten something!! I was panic buying....lol
I had packed my bag to go to hospital weeks before and spent the afternoon eleven years ago unpacking and packing it convinced I'd packed to much then worrying whether I had enough....
I was terrified!!
But every second of fear was worth it!
Becky was born 10th of September 2002!
That's a lovely Magic Moment. I'd never been in hospital at all before Monkey was born, and was terrified when I was on the verge of an emergency c-section. Luckily forceps did the job - but one more failed push and they were all ready to cut me open!
ReplyDeleteOhh my! How scary but well done the forceps...lol
DeleteThank you x
How lovely-I think every woman does that with their hospital bag and buying with the first child, second time around I was much less panicked! x
ReplyDeleteIt is so easier 2nd time round...lol
DeleteThanks x
Wow - time flies...I cannot believe it how much Peanut changes every day :-)I still remember the magic moment of seeing him for the first time!

Lovely post! I was 11 days overdue with my first...so it was less panic and more hurry up by that stage! Although, I ended up with an emergency c-section - the elective option is definitely a bit less scary :) Happy birthday to Becky xx
ReplyDeleteOhh yes elective is the best option...Must of been so scary having an emergency one!!
DeleteThank you x
How amazing...doesn't time fly...but I bet it only feels like yesterday x
ReplyDeleteIt's does! Really does not seem like 11 years....lol

ReplyDeleteA planned c-section must be such a different experience. I'm sure I would also be freaking out, you can only prepare so much for an unknown delivery date. A fantastic magic moment, you looked really good after going through the surgery.
ReplyDeleteLovely post :-)
