Waking three times in the night, having trouble getting out of bed to pee due to pubic bone pain or waking three times in the night to feed a baby, having trouble getting out of bed due to C-section incision pain?
Being exhausted from end-stage (yes it is somewhat likened to a terminal disease) pregnancy or being exhausted from caring for a baby, a toddler, and recovering from surgery?
Peeing when you sneeze or vaginal bleeding for 10 weeks straight?
Being kicked in the ribs 24-7 or having having sore nipples 24-7?
Not excercising because you are physically unable or not exercising because you don't have time?
Being catheterized or a post surgery UTI?
Knowing when you will have your baby and having the clock tick down or waiting not knowing when the ticking will stop?
Oh if I knew the answer to all of these questions I may not be in this predicament. Thankfully the human (or should I say female) mind is a wonderful thing in the way it allows us to eliminate these memories in order that we may bear more children?
But let me ask myself this...
What's better, feeling the miracle that is having a little life inside your womb or feeling the miracle that is holding your new born baby for the first time? Unfortunately I can't recall the answer to this question either but thankfully I will likely be blessed to enough to experience both, again! So today is a good day, and tomorrow, whether it brings a baby or another day of pregnancy, will be a great day.

Thanks for making me feel better. Waiting sucks, so my answers tend to favour the baby side more so than the fetus side.
