How long was your birth story???

[The[cookie]Doctor]

Haha thanks Nadine!

I figured that i am writing it to remind myself, and i dont want to leave out the 'useless information'... but i never thought in a million years that it would be quite so long.

I easily broke 4000, now i'm wondering if i'll break 5, and that's not even considering my thoughts after the birth... lol!!!

Dear oh deary me. It has been fantastic to write it all down down, i think it's going to put me a lot more 'in touch with myself' for next time, give me some clarity, something to reflect on, etc.

I'll try and post it tomorrow if i get the chance.

ETA - and by 'useless information' i mean, i don't seriously know how i remembered so much... and i dont know what compels me to not cut it down. It could be - "and then we went to the hospital" and instead its, i was anxious, upset, scared and being taunted by my younger brothers while we drove to the hospital... gah... why do i have to be so pedantic???!!!!

I don't know how many words mine was, but it was certainly a novella

I think it's great to get down every detail that you can remember, because over time, you forget your labour (natures way of tricking us into doing it again, I suppose!) so to have a record of it means you can remind yourself of what you experienced - and it's certainly one you want to remember.

I can't wait to read your short thesis, Ashlea!

I felt both mine was long, but i find the more u remember the better off you are in adding it.

The longer they are, the more reflection u can look back on!

Thanks everyone...

It certainly does have well, a lot of unnecessary detail for anyone else's eyes, but i wanted it for my own sake. Came in at more than 5000 words!!!
