For me, giving birth was so much better than my wedding day. My wedding was a mess! I felt like I had to keep everyone in line and keep everything moving. Many people disappointed me on that day with their thoughtless and selfish behavior (not being on time, RSVPing then no-showing, dropping out of the ceremony, etc.) It took me a while to get over the fact that I had spent so much time and money on something I really didn't enjoy.

On the other hand, having my baby was so fulfilling. I couldn't plan it and I didn't have any patience for people's bad character traits. My husband took complete control of my family and friends visiting schedules so that I felt 100 percent comfortable. Plus the birth experience and parenting experience overall has just been such a bonding thing for us. It is almost like getting married all over again, but it feels more real.

I didn't have a completely complication-free postpartum experience, but it felt worth it because of what a miracle we'd been a part of. Just amazing.

Just my thoughts! What are yours?
