I just had my baby girl at 37 weeks! I was full of anxiety those 37 weeks and would sometimes spiral reading posts here.

I’m a first time mom and I just want to share that giving birth did not hurt as much as I thought it would at all. If you’re reading this, full of anxiety, I promise you can do it!

I was induced (which was worse than the actual active labor, but you just gotta push through) and had stitches from a 2nd degree tear but felt so bad ass and like I could run through a wall after. I did that!

The recovery wasn’t too bad. Sore for a few days while trying to figure out how to take care of a newborn. I’m 2 weeks out now and feel totally like myself. I can’t wait to work out and have sex.

Good luck mamas! You got this!
