My daughter who is just 6 years old is sick with a stomach flu. She is up later tonight than she normally is, and we are in bed watching something on Lifetime called "One born every minute". She is getting into it, and she is starting to ask questions. "Mommy are they going to cut her open to get the baby out?" she asks in fear. "Some of them might. Others do it differently" I laugh. "How do you get it out without cutting your tummy?" she asks again. "It's magic" I say to get her quiet. Meanwhile, a woman is on the screen having a serious labor with failed epidurals, and I start to have flashbacks. I cover my eyes and cringe thinking about the pain this woman is enduring. My daughter says, "does it hurt that bad?" I said, "yes baby it does". She asks me with bright eyes, "as bad as a shot?" I said "oh sweetie it's more like if your skin was falling off your body" LOL She begins crying, "I don't want to have a baby! I don't Mommy! God is gonna give me one, and I don't want one mama!" I can't help but laugh. I put my arms around her and tell her, "you don't have to have a baby if you don't want to baby" I finally managed to stop laughing and comfort her. She quieted down but occasionally I could hear her saying to herself quietly, "never ever never" as she fell fast asleep.
I am perfectly content with her knowing childbirth equal a pain like no other. LOL
