I had spent YEARS trying to prepare my body and mind to grow and birth a child, and it was 95% misery that interrupted my life in many, many ways.
I *wanted* to be a good vessel. I cared about creating an ideal womb environment. And pregnancy wrecked my body so thoroughly that I became progressively malnourished, and so anemic that labor could have killed me. nullagent (npub1yyr…lyn2) made sure I got the iron infusion I needed ten days before I gave birth, when we were running late and almost turned away.
