Ok, well I'll dive right in here...Wednesday night, I took a hot bath, hadn't in so very, very, long. Laying in the tub with low lights and relaxing, I thought of first stages of hard labor (which I did in the tub) and then the entire birth experience. It was absolutely traumatic, but I would do it again. It is what our bodies are designed to do. Women have done it since the dawn of time, are doing it right now. And after the brief period of pain, you have this amazing little person in your arms. What could ever be better than that? And being pregnant and experiencing the bodily changes was absolutely magical, I never felt more beautiful, one of the greatest experiences in my life. If you are in shape before you get pregnant and you breastfeed, getting your body back is no big deal. Breastfeeding burns a boatload of calories - you'll have to eat like a horse to keep up with the babies feeding needs. I was at the pool the other day and there was a woman there with an infant, maybe 6 mos. old and she looked awesome. Totally fit.
