Our baby girl is turning one! In celebration of her 1 year birthday, I am sharing a glimpse into my pregnancy journey and birth experience, what I learned about self-nurture (and what it is NOT!) in the process of becoming a mother. To be honest, I struggled with a lot of disappointment and guilt for myself with the outcome of the birth experience, and I did a lot of inner work to turn myself around from that.
