I didn’t find anything about the birth process beautiful.
*duck*
The end result was worth it, but labor and delivery is something I would rather have slept through.

I so agree, the end result in of childbirth is the only reason anyone would ever want to go through it in the first place. I remember the doctor asking me with my first if I wanted to see what was happening as my son was crowning and I looked at him like he was crazy LOL. There are some things I just don’t want to see 🙂
I was not the best at birthing, but I am an awesome mom (most of the time!) If I were a cow, they would have not kept me after first birthing season!!!
I could not agree more. My birth plan was to deliver living children (and at 27 weeks, there was some debate). I knew the dangers and explicitly told my doctors, “Do what you need to do.” I didn’t have any delusions of grandeur for a beautiful heartwarming experience. I envisioned doctors, wires, tubes and flashing alarms – of which there were many.
After my c-section (yes I had one and I’m proud of my scar) the anesthesiologist looked at my husband and said, “She’s OK. But she’s going to go to sleep now…”
You are so right… It would have been nice to have woken up to an angel… We’ll actually I did that after my fourth — but had an emergency c-section. It was hell afterwards to be sure but I had my angel of a boy.
