A new mom, with next to no experience with a new baby... what is the stuff of her nightmares that may wake her up?
A new mom, with next to no experience with a new baby… what is the stuff of her nightmares that may wake her up?
It is the dead of night I awaken in dread a nightmare something heavy so heavy on my chest what was it? what is it? why am I wet? a mewling next to my stiff right arm startles me It is my new baby I must feed her no instinct clicks just bleary-eyed darkness I tug at the zipper of my gown try to position baby’s hungry mouth but her head doesn’t come closer I lift my head off the pillow to check what’s wrong and gasp she’s on her tummy how is that even possible? full of guilt I sit up as per the doctor’s instruction – always feed the baby upright now I know why.
