So I am finally caught up and here is day ten of the 30 day blog challenge, my most embarrassing moment.
My most embarrassing moment is also my greatest achievement, giving birth to my son. I think during childbirth any ounce of dignity you planned to have during the labour goes out of the window. I am a very private person, I have never felt comfortable undressing in front of other people, when I go to the gym or swimming I will also choose a cubicle over a communal changing room and I will use a toilet if there are no cubicles. During childbirth I had about a million people looking up my hoo-ha! I was also wearing those ridiculous support stockings and as I kept getting cramp in my calf muscles I had midwives massaging my legs.
Before going in I had all these ridiculous ideas like grooming my down stairs, wearing appropriate clothing, hair and make-up. When it came down to it I couldn’t give a shit. All I wanted was the epidural and my baby out. I could care less what my downstairs looked like or if my hair was okay. I didn’t even worry about having an accident on the table. I made a noise that kind of resembled a cow mooing but did I care? No!
Looking back though it amazes me how I was able to just let go and enjoy the experience of giving birth to my son. And then of course any inhibitions that I might have had were all wiped away the moment that he was placed onto my chest. I still cry when I think about that moment. The atmosphere in the room was electric, we were all crying. It was so magical. I shall leave you with the first ever picture of my beautiful boy…
