despite how uncomfortable you may feel,
how swollen you are,
you do not want a c-section
you want a natural birth
not just a vaginal birth, a natural one
you know this is possible, you've done it before
this does not have to be important to anyone else
your due date is not a deadline
c-sections are much harder to recover from than vaginal deliveries
you do not want an unnecessary surgery
your body will have this baby naturally, it knows what to do
be patient
you want to be able to hold your children after their new baby sister comes,
to give them extra love as they may feel misplaced or unsure
unlike the last time you had a natural delivery, you are not alone
you have a husband who will support you in a medication free delivery
you do not need to have your baby because of anyone's timetable except yours
no matter what,
labor is only one day of your life

oh French, such beautiful sentiments! It's all so true--being able to hold the big kids, recover more quickly, everything. I'm so excited for you! Are you really swelling now?
You can do it Rachael!
