I Missed My Child’s Birth
[[link removed]]
It’s hard when your birth plan goes totally off the rails, and it can take time
to recover from the experience. Writer Erin Hug didn’t want a Cesarean at all,
so she was particularly upset when a gruff doctor informed her they’d have to
perform hers under general anesthesia. It made her feel disconnected, and it
took time to recover.
“In the movie version of my life, they bring the baby in, and I’m overcome with
relief and joy, and I hug the baby, and I whisper to her that I’m her mama.
That’s not what happened,” she writes. “In real life, they wheeled in a baby I
didn’t know, and she was too tiny, and they asked if I wanted to hold her, and I
said yes, but secretly I didn’t want to because she was so fragile, and I didn’t
want to hurt her.”
I am not embarrassed to admit that I teared up reading about the moment where
everything finally clicked!

Did I Just Pee Myself?
[[link removed]]
“For two years, I have had the constant sensation that I have to pee,” writes
Angela Hatem. She recounts her journey to actually getting some help, despite
people telling her that’s just what happens when you have a baby and medical
professionals just directing her toward Kegels. “I wasn't fine, and I didn't
need a Kegel. A bagel, maybe but not a Kegel. Beyond carbs, what I needed was
for someone to listen to me, to hear the words I was saying and not write me off
as a Kegel case.” Her advice to anybody in the same position is simple:
