Hey Ladies,

I really enjoyed reading this article by Cheryl Strayed about her birthing experience and thought it was worth sharing. It's two pages long and just a heads up there is a wee bit of swearing on pg2.

Here's the link to the article: https://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2014/04/cheryl_strayed_s_true_birth_story_a_43_hour_labor_and_then_love.html

    Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed it, too. I liked how she described her feeling/preoccupation after realizing she's pregnant, where every thought is Pregnant! Pregnant! Pregnant! That seemed so familiar to me. Except with PgAL brain it is more like: Pregnant! Pregnant??? Pregnant?! Still! Still?
