I was very apprehensive about being there at first. But once I arrived, there was no turning me away unless it was to get her dinner the second her little one was born. (It ended up being breakfast and she had it waiting before the baby was even out.) I was afraid of the whole process before. I don't really know how our bodies work down to the nitty gritty. Sex Ed was so long ago and primarily geared towards teaching you not to get pregnant at an early age or catch HIV. They succeeded in that regard. But I digress.
I was never comfortable with how the female body works. I wanted kids, but would almost prefer to adopt just to avoid the unpleasant business of popping one out down there. The idea of carrying the baby wasn't the problem. It was fear of the unknown.
After this experience, I can honestly say I feel there's nothing to be afraid of anymore. I am not intimidated by it any longer. If my best friend can do it, so can I. Thank you, Marcy, from the bottom of my heart for that experience.
