May 10th is Mother’s Day
a reminder that some experiences are not always seen, but they are still part of it
the moments that don’t go as expected
the news that changes everything
the plans that shift without warning
the waiting in rooms
the extra monitoring
the conversations that carry more than expected
the times the body needs more care
the times things become high risk
the decisions that happen faster than planned
the early arrivals
the smaller beginnings
the need for extra support after birth
the days spent in places that were not part of the plan
the machines that help
the care that continues beyond delivery
the outcomes that are not always what was hoped for
the experiences not always spoken about
the parts often carried quietly
before the celebration
before the announcements
before anyone else understands the full story
this is also part of motherhood
this is also part of what her body goes through
this is also part of the journey
