I think it might be a generational thing because I know that my mother and my mom-in-law are a bit put off by the candid nature of my friendships, but seriously, how else do you normalize and feel ok about what you go through as a mother! TMI? NEVER in my books. I'll gladly listen or spread the word!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17040974899152167390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473415657929241953.post-23238239273296715332010-11-08T19:32:59.222-07:002010-11-08T19:32:59.222-07:00Oh Deanna, I agree.

Its like as soon as I get around my mommy friends all talk turns to any possible bodily function that myself or my baby girls might have had from day 1 of pregnancy leading right up to the current day. Things that I just can't share with my hubby. I mean although he was VERY present during the pregnancy, birth, and post birth, he just could not possibly understand like another mother can!!! And I am not one bit ashamed of it!!!! Its like a proud honour badge I wear!!! I gave birth, naturally, tore to the 3rd degree, breastfed till she rejected me which then sent me into a lte on set post pardem depression, bled for weeks after, and have never felt more womenly or sexy as I did through the whole process!!!! I say bring on TMI if your part of the club!! Bring it on!!!Deannahttp://www.littleladybughugs.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473415657929241953.post-3732083394115076382010-11-04T20:46:00.983-06:002010-11-04T20:46:00.983-06:00I'm sure upon hearing that you are a labour de...I'm sure upon hearing that you are a labour delivery RN, many women feel they have license to share. :o)<br />I love "normalize" - so, so, so true! And you're right, the journey to motherhood is as important as the destination. Thank you Andrea, for summing it up so perfectly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16858612163616812919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473415657929241953.post-10883551859829217962010-11-03T18:38:58.113-06:002010-11-03T18:38:58.113-06:00I think it is wonderful that women can be open and...I think it is wonderful that women can be open and share their experiences with each other. So much of our struggles are actually shared experiences and it helps to normalize a lot of the things that happen to us. I think that pregnancy, birth and babies are really a big thing that women go through. Not just the stuff of motherhood but the whole process of getting there. So, I love to embrace people telling me their TMI stories. I get a lot of good ones when they find out I am a labour delivery RN. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14251956834955281101noreply@blogger.com
