That huge belly is gone and instead there it is: a real human being.
At times I thought that's just not possible.
When I was pregnant myself I realized,
that I had all the same kind of questions, worries, and fears as any other woman ...
...even though I am a midwife.
Somebody please tell me what I should do.
I wanted somebody else to tell me something about my body,
to tell me what to do.
But giving birth simply doesn't work that way.
The most beautiful moment was seeing my son as he lay between my legs and I just knew:
That's my son, he belongs to me. Amazing.
My water broke outside, the kind of scenario most women are afraid of.
I didn't care however, I left a huge puddle in the streetcar ...
and was glad that something was finally happening.
I had expected to enter the delivery ward and that it would all continue from there.
But things just didn't happen the way I had expected at all.
I had an episiotomy.
I wish I hadn't agreed to that.
