π©· Some Labor Day trivia. π π
Skip to the end if TMI! π€£
Iβve been through labor, (and delivered) 12 times. (The first completely alone, (in hospital) and clueless.) π’
My longest labor was 60 hrs. My shortest, just over 3.
With one, I arrived at the hospital 5 minutes before she was born. With the next they remembered me, and she was born 3 minutes after I arrived.
My last 5 were born at home.
TMI, my water broke early in labor with only two. (Those happen to be the 2 I lost, 1 prebirth, one after.)
2 were en caul.
Rounding out my 13 was an early loss with no labor. π’
Iβve never added up these hours of labor to get my lovies here, nor the hours of laboring over them these past 46 years. (Youngest just βbecameβ an adult.) But I do know every minute of it has been a π Labor of Love! π
