You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have left
I instantly imagined the hardest part of labor, the intense pressure, the painful contractions, and the fear of it all trying to engulf me...and making this statement a prominate thing I think about could help me. Might help me re-establish the "your body was made for this, the instant you have her it will all be worth it" thought that I'm going for. I am going at this knowing there is no epidural, nothing to "take the edge off". My pain relief will come from my brain, my breath, and the love of my life guiding me thru it all. I am nervous, but only curiously nervous. Of what my body and mind are capable of. I can't wait to experience it, and to finally meet our Leah.
