Happy Labor Day to all who celebrate... especially the moms who took the name a little too literally ๐
And can we talk about how wildly different LABOR can look from one person to the next!?
Some moms are loud. Some barely make a sound.
Some need to move constantly, some find one position and do NOT want you asking them to move.
Some want their partner touching them through every contraction. Some will remove your hand from their body so fast you'll question every choice you've ever made ๐
Some labors take days. Some babies apparently have somewhere to be and come flying out.
There's no one right way to labor.
After almost 8 years of watching women give birth, that's still one of my favorite things about it. You can prepare and learn all the things, but when labor actually starts, you get to figure out what YOUR body wants.
And sometimes that looks nothing like what you thought it would.
Happy LABOR Day, mamas! โค๏ธ
