write it soon! it is really crazy how fast the memory of childbirth fades. In the time right after it feels so life changing and that you'd never forget it but for some reason it does.

Maybe it doesn't happen to everyone but it did for me. I regret not journaling more about it in the early days.

I have been trying to! When I get a chance to write.

I think that happens as a survival mechanism. If it was hard we forget just how hard so we are likely to do it again.

Like I always choose economy on flights and immediately regret it after because "it wasn't that bad last time" 😂 yes it was!
