Going into my second pregnancy, I thought I was way more prepared. I wasn't. I was will aware of what I didn't want to happen. I didn't bother to focus on what I did want.

I meticulously selected my prenatal care and the hospital I would deliver at. I splurged on prenatal vitamins, my diet was much healthier this time around (I only gained half as much weight as I did with my first pregnancy... Which was still a lot lol) and I was pretty confident.

During my first pregnancy, I was like most first time moms, terrified of the unknown (I'd never given birth before!) and slightly obsessive over controlling every aspect my pregnancy and birth. I read all the books, created my birth plan. I felt prepared. Now I know, I wasn't fully...

My pregnancy went well without any major hiccups, fortunately. However, labor and delivery was a different story.
