Replying to Avatar Mallory

Just listened to a woman tell a horrific birth story where both her and the baby almost died. She followed it up by nonchalantly adding “Yep had two more after that.” 🤯 What!?

There’s something that makes women forgetful of the birthing process. I am convinced.

Pretty sure the oxytocin kicks in and all those lovely bonding hormones help the process of forgetting right along. This mother described in visceral detail a horrible birth experience before adding then I had 2 more. She has very clearly not forgotten the horror of the first experience. I have known a couple of women who had subsequent children after traumatic births, one of the reasons being they wanted to get the birth right this time.
