Wow, what a story! I laughed, cried, and was riveted all the way through. So honest, real, and powerful. Love the 5 reasons you had the goal of natural childbirth, and your description of the "golden hour" as transcendent! It's a bloody miracle! Congratulations and well done mom and dad! I look forward to some compelling parenting stories in the coming years (just not as painful.) Your reflections and writing are second to none. There's a harrowing root canal experience without anesthetic in the memoir A Million Little Pieces. But I was totally "in the moment" reading what you went through and Finn's entrance to the world.
Heather, thanks for sharing this journey! This was so incredibly well written and a joy to read. I especially loved reading the similarities you found between ultra running and child birth and how the mental strategies you learned from running help prepare you for this. The human body truly is incredible and women's bodies can do amazing things!! So happy for you and Keegan.
Crazy to relive it through your writing - thank you for sharing, Love. And thank you for ushering Finn into the world for us. I won’t forget it and i know it will continue to be motivating fuel for me forever. 💜
