The moments that make up the day your baby is born are incredibly fleeting. Think about it – will you really remember every single surge during labor? What about the little details, like your positions and how you were breathing?
Let’s not forget the incredible support from your partner – will those moments stick in your memory? Reflect on your OB or midwife’s name – but can you recall everyone else who was around you? What about those intense moments when you thought you couldn’t push through, but you did? And for those who had a cesarean birth, do you remember that pivotal moment leading up to it?
The truth is, all birth stories are worth documenting. The moment your precious baby enters the world is just one frame in the bigger picture that makes up your unique and incredible journey. Take the time to savor and cherish each and every moment, big or small.
