…Before the emergency C-section, I had labour induced medically. I had been in labour for about 11hours and I’d also opted for an epidural so by the time we had to go the emergency route- I was EXHAUSTED! The experience is a bit of a blur (some trauma response there, tiredness and possibly meds kicking in) and there was panic and urgency in the air due to my placenta abruption. Our normally bubbly and hilarious OB/GYN was suddenly so serious and our fun nurse who had guided us through the labour process had sad eyes, assuring my husband that everything was going to be alright.

…With the elective C-section, I checked in at noon for a 14.30 appointment. I was alert and intentional about keeping positive. The medical team’s energy was light-hearted and we had our pediatrician talk us through the process in the theatre, going through what our OB/GYN was doing (what I couldn't see beyond the hanging shield) and a countdown to when we would meet baby. There was an ease in the air, no panic and the step by step walk-through helped me feel comfortable. I also remember the birth very well compared to my first delivery- maybe because I was on less meds and also with the labour time eliminated…

Managed to get some journaling in today. I love this pregnancy journal and memory book by Korie Herold. It’s guided me so well in meeting monthly milestones, asking about thoughts, feelings and special moments through our pregnancy.

It’s just the right size and has a beautiful fabric hardcover too!

Looking forward to passing it onto Baby 🥰
