My midwife looked at me right before she left our house and said,“Remember: stay in your bed. Don’t push it. Patience during your recovery is important.”I smiled quietly while thinking,“Yeah, right. I CANNOT lay around for days and days. I’ll be back to normal in no time.” AND ALL THE MOMS STARTED BELLY LAUGHING! While I thought I’d “bounce back to normal” (whatever that means, in so many ways, right?), I was mistaken. Turns out, my healing is a slow process that is still happening almost two years later…
