Today I'm waiting in the doctor's office and the woman in the next room sounded like she was going into labour! It was quite disconcerting to listen to her yelling "ouch, ouch" over and over and over!!! By the time my doctor comes in to see me I'm a bit freaked out thinking that there is NO WAY I'm going to let her measure MY cervix.
So when I lay down for her to measure my belly and check the heartbeat and I think about what is going to come next I feel like I'm going to throw up right then and there. I had to sit back up and get my bearings. I could tell by my doctor's expression that she thought I might throw up too. Thankfully a glass of water seemed to make me feel better and everything was fine but since then I've been thinking about how scary the whole labour experience is, even while at the same time it is such an incredible thing to go through.
