After I had my first baby by cesarean, I felt that I wasn't getting anything done all day. So instead of making a "to-do" list, I made a "done" list of every task I completed. Seeing that long list in the evening reassured me and restored my sense of accomplishment.

I was blessed to be able to have all 3 of my other children naturally, and in the process learned a lot about the process of birth. Even after a normal birth, feeling fine, taking care of a baby is a full-time job!
