One of our recurring topics in our postpartum group, as we watch and witness this transition into motherhood for our new moms is how on Earth do we balance it all.  Once upon a time, before children, you felt overwhelmed with work or school or family and all you had to do was go home and hide for a bit, you could take a hot bath or go for a run or walk alone. This was easy space to find, you could essentially hide and no one would find you because your body wasn't physically required to feed a human or needed as a human pillow or just filled with a chemical compound that seems to induce panic the minute your tiny person is more then 50 feet away. 

It's so hard to believe people when they tell you "trust me you will know when you are in labor.”

It feels like it should be so cut and dry, but is it? This question always reminds me of the "Am I pregnant?" question because, just as the many signs of your next period are the same as signs of being pregnant....so many of the signs of being in labor are similar to just end of pregnancy every day life.
