As I watch my daughter lumbering belly first into motherhood, dreading labor, fearing a C section, or an episiotomy, I find myself saying it won’t be so bad, it heals. If anyone had dared say that to me postpartum, I would have slugged them. But now I’ve taken my place in the circle of old crones, telling the uninitiated to stop worrying, they are young and strong and can take it.
