Most see ultrasound pics and due dates and send congrats and well wishes. But what goes on inside the mind of the mama that’s considered “high risk”?
Here’s a backstage tour :
She cries at times because she feels so broken
So abnormal
She tries her best to mentally prepare for cervical stitches
Possible bed rest
Total dependency on others
No sex with her partner
Feelings of despair
Praying that her baby makes it another week
Wondering if her job will understand that she can’t physically be on her feet
Somehow she sheds tears and allows herself to feel the weight
Wallow in it
Get lost in everything that’s on Her plate
Then she completely let’s go
Surrender
Accepts
And feels an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the partner beside her that holds her and lets her know that everything will be ok
Or full of laughter from the little baby swimming around waving today
Then she wipes her eyes, stands up and k ones that everything will be ok
