![]() The feeling I had of not knowing what is going on and asking why she was not crying. But when I think back to the birth of my daughter there is the memory of those few minutes, the memory of the look in my husband’s eyes, the way the team acted, and the silence. When I think back to the birth of my son, there are just happy memories. It seems like a slow-motion of what’s going on. But what was actually a long time seems so short in comparison to these few short minutes where you don’t know if you will ever hear your baby cry or not. You spend hours pushing and pushing and finally, the baby is here. However, it did not take long until the obstetrician finally turned around with her in his arms, crying, and telling us that she was fine, that she was totally fine. And I knew something was probably not how it was supposed to be. ![]() I was exhausted but I could see the look on my husband’s face. But then there was silence after the last push and the team rushed. I expected the same for the birth of our little girl. Just how wonderful the feeling was, to finally hold him, finally touch him, finally hear him breathe and cry. After all those hours the pain was gone and how the exhaustion was still there but not important anymore. I remember the joy when my son was finally here when I heard his first sounds, when he started crying, and when he was finally in my arms. I so desperately wanted to give up but knew that there was just no way to. But rather the thoughts going through my mind when they told me that I am just not there yet. I can’t really remember the pain or the exhaustion I felt. And I took a long time with both of my kids until they were finally delivered. I hope not, although I have realized that I don’t really remember the physical aspect of it. You forget things over time and I wonder if you ever forget the birth of your children. It’s been a while since my babies actually have been babies, still, it seems like yesterday to me. How often do you think that your little ones are growing up too fast?
