Childbirth - it is, what it is

I just thought I would share my birthing experiences..... Why? I don't think we talk about them enough. 

Let’s face it, it’s pretty rough, highly undignified and the majority of the time the focus is on your vajazzle.

However, childbirth is HUGE, it’s more than just waking up to the Facebook picture of a cute baby. The person who has given birth to that baby has been through hell.... literally blood, sweat and tears. It deserves recognition, not to be swept under the carpet.        

Coming out of the social media closet......

Before I had kids I promised myself (like many others I’m sure) that I wouldn't turn into a social media mum bore. I mean.... don't these people have a life?! it’s all kids kids kids... yawn.  

Then I realised.....  

Why you can never prepare for parenthood.

'Parenthood is like looking both ways before crossing the road.... and getting hit by an Aeroplane'

I think this has to be the best description of parenthood I have come across so far.

It doesn't matter how many times you look both ways, or anticipate what's coming, you can never prepare yourself for the shitstorm that is about to hit you full on, and bulldoze you to the ground.

There is only one rule when it comes to preparing for parenthood... and that is.... you CAN'T prepare for parenthood.
