This time eleven years ago I was about to embark on one of the biggest challenges of my life.....
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

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 :-)
