But I think you will appreciate this.<BR/><BR/>After my first son was born I had a small but very painful tear that didn't heal right. (I foolishly turned down the midwives' offer of a stitch.) It was always painful when touched after that, even 18 months later. When baby #2 was on the way, my ever-present fear was that I would experience excruciating pain and tear even worse when pushing the new baby out.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I could have asked my midwife about it but I was still too prudish about my body. Old impressions die hard. So at about 36 weeks, when labor was imminent enough to make me very paranoid but NOT imminent enough to be desirable at that point, I decided to try an experiment. <BR/><BR/>To see if I was going to tear, I got the biggest smooth thing I thought was safe to use, which happened to be a large lemon, and tried very carefully inserting it. To my surprise the pain went away completely after the initial stretch. I let it slip in a little further and accidentally lost my grip on it. I jerked up in a panic and it slid all the way in. ALL the way!<BR/><BR/>Well, I thought, it can't be that hard to get out. WRONG! It took me nearly 20 minutes and several different tools to get it out. By the time I did, I was shaking and crying, and terrified I would have to call my midwife and actually admit to putting a lemon inside of me. And also scared that the very difficult and painful extraction with a pair of kitchen tongs might somehow put me in early labor. Every Braxton Hicks had me panicked for the rest of the day.<BR/><BR/>When the baby was actually born, I didn't tear at all. And there has been no pain there since. So much for my silly fears.FreedomFirsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06758904672151505999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299081402172544281.post-70305551525496720392008-04-09T20:21:00.000-07:002008-04-09T20:21:00.000-07:00Oh.my.god....SPEECHLESS!Oh.my.god....SPEECHLESS!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14947055610451542642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299081402172544281.post-43928665487974816172008-03-21T19:58:00.000-07:002008-03-21T19:58:00.000-07:00I read this to my husband and he has sworn off Str...I read this to my husband and he has sworn off Strawberries completely!
