I never realized (until this weekend) that there are times when I just don’t need to know things. I have been dealing with pregnancy the best I can and I’ve really been excited about what to come. Until I sat through a 3 hour Transition Into Motherhood class this weekend at Carolina’s Medical Center. I have to tell you ladies… I learned some things that I really could have gone without knowing.
Before now the only thing I had been dreading was labor. As many of you know my heart really is all into having a natural and non-medicated birth. Who wouldn’t be scared about that?
But now that’s not what I’m scared about at all. As if I’m not already terrified of staying the night at the hospital let’s just get me all sorts of prepped for everything I’m going to experience those first few days after labor. I’m convinced I would have been better off not knowing… Anybody else ever feel this way?
I don’t need to know WHY I’m going to bleed for a few weeks after Magdalene gets here. I don’t really think I’m going to remember in 11 weeks that when I pee I need to lean forward so it doesn’t run back towards any stitches… Don’t really think you needed to tell me that I’m going to be subject to my husband’s cooking for the first couple of weeks. I think that is the part I could have gone without knowing the longest.
Poor guy. In case you haven’t noticed by now, I like good food. So does my husband. Hence why I do all of the cooking at our house. *Sigh* But yeah, I can understand how breastfeeding every 2-3 hours and having a baby who literally needs something from me every 7-14 minutes would make cooking difficult but does that mean that I shouldn’t try? I guess we’ll find out, won’t we?
Talk to you all soon.
Sincerely,
~Nikki
