Pregnancy: O is for Open minded

O is for Open minded. That does not look like it is spelled right, but spell check is telling me it is OK.

When discussing labor with doctors, nurses, and friends, everyone says "Be open minded." Nobody wants an expectant mother to walk in anticipating an easy labor, an epidural, or a natural labor. They also want mothers to be open minded about having a caesarean. "It might happen and that does not make you less of a mother."

OK, I'm open minded. I've grown open minded about what my body can do while pregnant (soccer is out, cycling is out, walking is in, sleeping is in). And open minded about the secrets other mothers never tell anyone about (leakage, the mask of pregnancy, fingernails that grow super fast, hiccups, farting).

Yeah, that's all I have to say about it. Be Open minded.
