Photo 17402540 © Fahrner78 | Dreamstime.com The day I went into labor and was admitted to the hospital my overriding emotion was not fear or anxiety about the unknowns of my birth. I felt a sense of relief and calm. I had been worried my whole pregnancy that something terrible would happen. So much so that I had completely compartmentalized the pregnancy for fear of connecting to a baby that could be taken away from me at any moment. I took very good care of myself- eating right, drinking lots of water, exercising, and not putting any toxins into my body. I went to every single one of my prenatal appointments even though I could have checked my blood pressure and fetal heart rate at home. I made sure to do kick counts and would monitor my changing body for any warning signs or symptoms. But I didn’t do the one thing that would have really made a difference in how I remember the pregnancy and in how my transition to motherhood would unfold when I brought my baby home.
