It's okay to want an epidural. It's okay to want a homebirth. It's okay to choose a scheduled cesarean. It's okay to change your mind. It's okay to want a hug. It's okay to NEED a hug. It's okay to not want to be touched.
It's okay to have an “easy” birth.
It's okay to labour for hours. It's okay to say you feel like crap.
It's okay to eat peanut butter chocolate chip cookies during pregnancy,
labour, and even after labour.
It's okay to love your baby bump. It's okay to hate being pregnant. It's okay to scream bloody murder. It's okay to want silence.
It's okay to not be happy. It's okay to be happy. And it's okay not to apologize. Seriously. It's okay.
