Today you scared me...
First you made me too sick to do anything other than lay in bed eating saltines and drinking tea... Then brief spotting - which caused me to call our Doula, who said it was quite normal, as long as it wasn't heavy, and I had no cramps...
It went away, but I was so afraid for about an hour!
Meanwhile, the Doula (we'll call her "A." from here on out...) and I talked about hospitals, and how I choose one, etc...
With each passing day, I realize exactly how little I know about this process. I have a feeling the learning curve is kinda steep. It's all rather odd. I mean, it's not like I'm young or naive - and I have so many friends who are parents, and I've been around from the periphery for so many of these things - I just find myself amazed that I really know nothing about having a baby. It's like losing your innocence.
I'm sure I'll be reading a lot in the next 8 months...and bugging the heck out of everyone I know who's ever gone through this!!
Oops... more nausea - back to the bathroom for me...
