Motherhood is complex and difficult, impossible to define and multifaceted, life-giving and life-sucking, beautiful and chaotic. Happy Mother‘s Day to each of you, as you write your own complicated and lovely life stories. ♥️

http://www.boredpanda.com/professional-birth-photography-competition-winners-lab... just came across these amazing photographs on FB. Some of the photographs more explicit than others. I thought they were all beautiful ❤️

mcipher Some of those bring you right back! My husband was playing U2 in the car on the way to the hospital and that always takes me right back to being in labor. 😍😳 8y

saresmoore My uterus is crying. 😍😔💞 8y

DeborahSmall @mcipher @saresmoore makes me broody for about 5 seconds, then I think; 10 more years until Sophie off to uni and we'll be free! But those photographs bring back great and bad memories. I didn't have a great labour with Sophie and almost died after losing 3 litres of blood. I also lost her twin sister halfway through my pregnancy. Bittersweet 💖 8y

mcipher @DeborahSmall Yay on almost to college! I've got 4 years left til mine goes (hopefully - terrified he'll decide not to!). I'm sorry to hear about your loss and your bad labor experience. Definitely bittersweet! 8y

CouronneDhiver Cool photos! 8y

saresmoore @DeborahSmall Oh, I can't even imagine how hard that is to go through! You and Sophie are beautiful and miraculous. And you're right, after just having slept through the night, I appreciate that the tiny stages are done! 8y

DeborahSmall @saresmoore she's my little miracle. After 2 previous losses between the boys I was told I couldn't carry a girl! 💕. Definitely don't miss late night feeds and nappy changes 8y
