Anníe Mist Þórisdóttir Instagram – There were so many front and backs about birth this time around. In Iceland you don’t get to just choose you only get the option if you have had a very rough first birth or complications come up. The ones closest to me wanted me to have a C section, I know out of love and scared of how it was last time around. However I felt like it was my call and I was in some ways afraid of another regular birth as well but I wasn’t ready to rule it out. I wanted to go through with it and have a good experience and a good normal birth I believe will be the best for everyone. Around Christmas it came to me that it wasn’t just about me though. It was about what was right for my family. I didn’t feel like I could take the risk for our boy and also for our 3 year old girl, to come home and be as destroyed as I was from birth as last time around, I felt like that was something I just could not risk. For me it was the right call, definitely not pain free 😅 but loss of blood significantly less and I’m fully there for my newborn and my daughter ❤️ I couldn’t be more grateful for my family. When it comes to making decisions like this, everyone’s situation might be different. I’m just sharing my process here. #grateful #mom #happy #enjoylife #dottir
