Baby is definitely past her due date, and I’ve been trying everything to get her out naturally (spicy foods! walking! laying in weird positions!). But she’s pretty dang cosy in there. So today, we met with our doctor To talk about possibly inducing labour. We’ve got a few days left before we take that step. And the truth is, I’m both so excited to meet her, this little baby, And a little sad at the thought of her being gone. She’s been inside me for over nine months now. I talk to her. Play with her. Keep her safe and safe and warm. The outside world Is a whole different ballgame. With so many things I can’t control, And risks and dangers. And she’ll never be as close to me, As a PART of me, As she is now. But all that’s ok. It’s human to hold space for complex emotions. To feel different things at the same time. And to be excited all the same. So today, if I can offer any advice, It’s this: Respect your emotions, however nuanced they are. Feel your feels. And lean into your truth. Sometimes joy and sadness go hand in hand - Especially where change is involved. Remember there is no ‘one way’ you should feel, No ‘good’ or ‘bad’ emotion. There’s simply being human. And that’s beautiful. That’s wonderful. That’s part of the miracle of life. x Kit @womensbest #pregnancyjourney #pregnancy #momsofinstagram #motherhood #thirdtrimester #birthstory
