[quote=Anonymous]I wish I knew that things might go not the way you planned and while that might be sad it will be okay.

- of course I wanted/expected a vaginal birth but water broke and contractions never came although the hospital said my body was doing it but never dilated or felt said contractions. Ended up with a c-section. Was pretty sad about what felt like my body not working. Now reading DCUM it sounds like I actually avoided a lot of trauma lol so I wish I would have read it before, haha.

- Not all women produce enough milk for their babies. Again, another instance of my body not doing what I thought it should. It’s extremely insulting to try your hardest and buy formula which says “breast is best” after trying my absolute hardest to get it to work.

- Not all newborns sleep a ton. Some are really difficult to get napping. I was really jealous every time I saw a baby napping in their stroller or in a public place.

At least on my second I knew what to expect and I got my napper.[/quote]
