The other night, I was lying in bed, blissfully thinking about my baby. He was kicking and wiggling and possibly having convulsions and I was so happy. Until I came to the following realization:
I have to squeeze this baby out of my vagina.
I realize that I should have thought about this sooner, but it's been 7 damn years since I had a baby and this is the first time I thought about how for weeks after his birth it was painful to poop and stung a little to pee. I walked around like I had just dismounted a horse and had pads the size of pillows between my legs.
My lady parts have long since recovered but now I'm about to do it to them all over again and damn I'm scared! I know they'll heal and I'll forget again, but not having a period for the last 6 months has been fucking fantastic and in a few weeks I will have the world's longest period AND sore pee-pee-itis.
Strangely, I'm totally thrilled to experience that! I had a c-section last time and DAMN! I'd rather do the pee-pee-itis thing. LOL
ReplyDeleteI remember feeling that way too, except I was scared about my c-section (and getting live babies home)
ReplyDeleteI too really didn't miss the periods...and once they started again, I was like "WHOA" .
thinking of you.
I had a similar moment after my prenatal class recently...I've never given birth so was completely unaware of the world's longest/heaviest period & was like, "Wait, WHAT?!?!? I'm goona bleed how much?!?!?"
ReplyDeleteNo one told me/I didn't read about the crazy bleeding afterwards. I mean, obviously I knew I would bleed but I didn't realize that it would be for such a LONG TIME! Also, I didn't think anything of wiping myself in a normal fashion the first time I used the bathroom after delivering. Big mistake. OuchY! And I won't talk about the clots too much. Holy crap!
ReplyDeleteUm, yeah.
