At our birthing class last night, the instructor had us all go around the room and answer the question: "What are you looking forward to about labor?" The answer couldn't be the obvious: having it be over!/Seeing the baby. It had to be about the labor itself. After quite a few snickers and grunts and then puzzled silence around the room, I finally came up with my answer:
What I am looking forward to about labor is experiencing this with Phil by my side and the bond that it will undoubtedly have between us. Phil is going to be a fantastic labor support coach and I know the love I already feel for him will only deepen as we share this intense, emotional, unique, unforgettable experience.
As easy as it is to come up with all the things I'm NOT looking forward to about labor, It's always good to look at the positive.
