Being a mother has made me conquer many of my fears and find out I had ones I never knew I had. Like the fear of your child being sad, sick or hurt, or left out from a friend ,and many more but I digress. One of the fears I have always had was of surgery. I was terrified of the thought. The cutting. The recovery. You get the idea. You can imagine that 6 hrs into a difficult labor that being told you would need a emergency c-section was not easy for me to take. My reaction was so strong my doctor actually thought I was refusing the c-section. Which I wasn't because I am a mother and mothers would do anything for their babies. So I cried and then I did it. I was terrified. For my baby. For myself.
In labor (before the bad news)
Here I am with my newborn baby. He was safe. He was beautiful. It hurt worse than I imagined and the recovery was harder than I would have ever wished but oh was he worth it. Staples, Scars and pain invaded our first weeks together.
Little did I know that later I would have to give birth to high risk twins. Who couldn't be born any other way but c-section. That a surgery that once terrified me was the least of my worries and a day I prayed I could make it too, with two live babies. That surgery seemed easy to me then.
Yes, for me Motherhood is learning that I am stronger than I thought. I can do things I never imagined possible and that I would know love greater than I could have dreamed. Sometimes the thing or things you are most scared of bring the greatest blessings. While walking that road is often difficult getting to the other side is sweet indeed.

Thanks for the insight. I keep thinking that if...I mean, when...I get through some of these tough times of motherhood, I will be a different person than when I began. And that is a good thing. It stretches and changes you like nothing else.
This was a wonderful post. We are definiteley stronger than we know. Good job mom!
Hi Laura! I found you on the Momo Blog, I'm 22 weeks with Momo Twin Girls. I'm going inpatient starting the 30th of November. It definitely is one of the more challenging parts of my life to date! I love reading the success stories because it gives me hope that it will all work out for us. We've recently found the cords are tangled, and one seems to be having a flow issue, we're hoping it will resolve itself and we can keep moving forward....I would love to hear more about your journey! Take care in the meantime!
