Some say labour is hard…
Some say it’s not that hard…
I think the ones that say the latter are the ones that haven’t experienced it
Or are men…
I was fortunate enough to be in the delivery room when one of my best friends was having a baby… (The one I planed the baby shower for…remember?)
Words cannot describe the emotions that went through me…
It wasn’t scary,
It wasn’t galling,
It was magnificent and breathtaking.
I was so proud of my friend,
I was so thankful to God for ensuring a safe delivery
And I was sooo proud of the fact that I am a woman..
who would one day be opportuned to go through that...
I tell you, whoever said “Women are the weaker sex”, has a screw loose in their brain!
Women are strong, brave and downright heroic.
For only a hero can go through what I saw my friend go through.
To all the mothers out there…
This one’s for you!
P.S. I am only having 2 kids now (changed my mind from having 4)
P.P.S. I hope they come as twins! :-)
P.P.P.S. I may not be around for a few weeks in a few weeks time- going away on a well deserved holiday!-
So if you dont find me on your blogs, or if I dont update till I get back, it doesnt mean my love for you has died! :o)

Second, huh?
True, mothers are heroes...
i always wanted just two kids.
i feel your wanting to go down that road just once! lol! just inform us when that time comes!
Amen. Women are the strongest beings on earth. I love the way you spin it " I am so proud of the fact that I am a woman, who would one day be OPPORTUNED to go through that". Wow. Me too. But I fear the pain. however as you say, it is a blessing to be a woman. I am thankful she had a safe delivery, and wish you a peaceful and nice holiday!
@OPTIMISTIC_alyzzz-
In all honesty, I've wanted twins for as long as I can remember...
And you are right...It really IS a humbling experience...
@Chayoma-
Yup! You sure are!
Lol. You know what they say- 'plan for 2 kids, but something something happens sha- and b4 u know it- No 3 is on the way! Lol
@Adaeze-
Thanks girl!
Truth is I think EVERYBODY fears that pain- I mean despite the fact that it was a beautiful experience for me to be there, I still cried like a lil baby when i saw the pain my friend was going through...
Thanks for stopping by girl!
women are made of strong stuff..i saw my sister give birth--i swear i almost passed out. I couldn't believe how distressing and amazing it was.
Happy hols, come bk and bring gist xxx

Glad she went through the it all without any complications..
I'm guessing your Godmother with naming rights, then..

@Scribble,me.free-

So no worries...You've still got your nurse around! :o)
@Miss Natural-
Thanks girl!
I dint feel queasy- funny enough, but then again, I dont get irritated or put off at the sight of blood...But I did feel like I had been let into some big secret Lol.
@Zena-
Lol. Quadruplets sha! Did i offend you? Lol.
Dunno why, I have just always wanted to have twins!
Wow, i get scared when i think of the Birthing Process, I blame it on a particular aunt’s Video >>>shivers<<<
And you are right "Women are strong, brave and downright heroic"
It's amazing how right after the baby is out, the exhilaration the mother has at seeing the child surpasses all the pain she went through.
Aww congrats to your friend. And enjoy your holiday!
hi
I am SO terrified of childbirh and labor. God help me, at this stage I'm feeling like if I can adopt kids and get away with it, I will.
waow- that must have been some kinda experience. congrats on being a God-mother.
Congrats to your friend. Childbirth IS the most amazing experience.
We are hands down the stronger sex. :) Ejoy your vacation.
(clears throat) speaking as a health student, birthing depends on a lot of factors concerning the anatomy of the woman. but forget that tin. na true you talk sha. women are strong o! i was with my aunt when she gave birth. wow! it was something else.
Oh love that sounds beautiful, I only hope that I am blessed enough to have children.
Well written. I hope I have the strength to go through that one day. I am scared stiff of childbirth.
Enjoy your holiday.
...and i share your thoughts and passion hook,line and sinker...Mothers are everythin in life...True for me.....
@Gochi-
Lol. But then, who isnt scared of the process? And you are so on point! Cos i remember that the minute my friend held her baby, she was beyond happy- you should have seen the look on her face
@Miss Fab-
Thanks a lot girl!
@Blog Critic-
Hi to you too...
@Original Mgbeke-
Lol. I thhink everyone has a sense of fear regarding it- I know I do..but it wouldnt deter me from wanting to have mine...
@SexKitten-
Thanks girl!
I thought you'd say that. :)
@Bibi-
Yeah yeah- health somebody! lol.
I did hear that the ones that work in that sector are the worst patients.. :)
@Angel-
Dont we all wish that?
Thanks for stopping by girl!
@LusciousRon-
I hope so too..and you are not the only scared one. :o)
@Trybes-
Mothers sure are!
Thanks for cruising by!
Awww! Finally go to read this and its so touching but i see you can't ignore the painful part hence your decision to the road only once. Well,hopefully you'll get your wish.
Will miss you out here but guess it means you'll have loads of posts for us when you get back.
Njoy ur hols gal!
awww, i like the way u described childbirth! u see, I personally am very scared of it. really, really.
but i love children!
*sighs*
see u wanting twins after saying childbirth is awesome! mchew...lol
holiday?
i beef.
i pray for 2 children too. maybe twins, only IF they would be identical.
@Luscious LU-
The pain me i saw was too strong to be ignored o! But more importantly, the joy on my friend's face was PRICELESS!
And when i said i only wanna go tru it once, i was kidding- I know I would go through it more than once. Now if only they can come up with a way that will make it easier than it is now :)
@Smaragd-
Thanks girl!
Everyone wants it, yet we cant stop being scared of it! lol.
I have always wanted twins though- but ONLY IF they are identical and the same sex! lol
The childbirth experience still terrifies me. Left to me, I would have only one child-through a c-section!lol.
Have fun on your vacation!
LOL @ u changing your mind on the kids! Guess Mothers need to be celebrated at all times!
@NigerianDramaQueen-
Lol. I think its terrifying for everyone, really but u no want c-section o! That one no be good thing!
@Danny Bagucci-
