Motherhood and the Embarrassment That Comes With It
When I had my first child, I had no hands-on experience or knowledge of how to take care of a baby. Zip, zilch, nada; I was flying solo on this journey. I read blogs on what to pack on Pinterest, I read about the ring of fire, I even nested two weeks before my scheduled induction date. What no one told me was how excruciatingly painful it was to pee. Seriously. It feels like a dragon is breathing fire on your lady parts in the worst way possible, and you have to do it. I lied to my nurse, I’ll admit it. I told her I went pee and that I accidentally flushed it before thinking of showing her my urine. I think that was my first motherhood mess-up.
