You should write down your birth story before you forget. One of the greatest gifts a mother has is the ability to forget her childbirth experience. Think about it, if every woman recalled every (potentially painful) detail of birth then no one would have more than one child. We would live in a world of only children. Mothers forget the bad aspects of pregnancy and childbirth because they are too busy focusing on all the wonderful experiences of motherhood that follow. So before you forget, write down your birth story. Save it, share it, cherish it and remind yourself that you and your body are capable of amazing things.
