Birth

When I was younger, and super tiny and skinny, I had these abnormally large hips. Everyone always told me, "Oh, you'll appreciate those hips when you start having kids. They're great for childbirth!" - which is pretty creepy to say to a teenager, thinking back on it.
But I always thought that was a good thing - because I definitely wanted to have babies and I wanted them naturally!
Well, my body I guess just got the hips part right because my cracked-out uterus wasn't so right and ultimately is leading me to my 3rd c-section in a little over 2 months. 2 months!?! I can't believe it either. So, all those years of not finding pants long enough and wide enough in the hips, while also small enough in the thighs and butt was for nothing.
Also, I need to apologize to my uterus for the cutting remarks. She did keep Tiny Dancer in there long enough to have a healthy birth. And she did great with Little Monster. Still going strong with The Baby. (But you were a little cracked-out... I mean, come on, a septum?! It's like really rare...)
I'm starting to get nervous about the third (and final - like really!) c-section that will be occurring in a few months. It is totally major surgery, and even though my last 2 went great, something can always happen. I try to keep a positive attitude, but something about those ORs just really scare me.
I don't have a natural birth to compare to, but I bet it's a lot more exciting than a c-section. However, I'm perfectly content with the fact that I will only ever experience c-section births. It's pretty simple (barring any complications) and it's just the way my children and I are to have the healthiest births for us. I'd advise you to avoid them if you can though... the scar is just hideous!
2 months and 2 weeks to go! Hoping I make it all the way to the end... I'm not ready for another baby any earlier!
