im thinking of you today too.

[Kavita]

You're probably with your baby right now as I'm writing this!!!

Well, I'm really disappointed for you that you're not getting the birth that you wanted. It is very hard, especially because you're a professional and an advocate for normal birth and this is not birth experience you wanted to have. So that really sucks. Believe me, I understand how it is to have your "professional" brain and your "mama" brain in conflict!! It's really hard when life throws you a curveball that is so far from your ideals and your dream of how it's going to be, especially when you're made your life work out of helping other people achieve that dream! It is just not fair.

I'm really proud of you though because you've handled this whole thing so well, and really have advocated for yourself and your baby at every step of the way and I'm sure that you're going to do everything within your power to make the birth experience and your baby's first days the best possible within the circumstances you're dealt.

I'll be thinking of you and waiting to hear the news of your sweet little baby when you get the chance!!!

Hugs to you!!
