The thrills and spills of motherhood, I remember when it started.
When I thought I was gonna die, I tell the truth whole hearted.
I woke up one morning with a cramp in my lower back,
Thought I had a rough night, but it was contractions coming back.

I went along with the day and knew that I felt weird,
and the thought of baby coming soon overcame the pain I feared.
Hours passed and at last, I spoke out against the ache,
and though I was in tremendous pain, I pulled it together for baby's sake.

I thought I was super women, and I could push her out with ease,
and that I would go straight home before you could say cheese!
Oh no, twas not like that I must admit, I cried.
And after 21 hours I began to push, I tried and tried and tried...

Just as she'd push forward, she'd go right back in again,
And I was certain, I was dying, as she hid back in her den..
just then, I screamed and with a push, she popped her head right out,
They told me to look at her, and I then I just freaked out!

The pain I can't describe it, there is nothing to compare,
And when you feel the baby squirm , you laugh, but in despair!
The midwife said that I was brave but needed to push and quick.
And I was in utter shock, no control, I felt quite sick!

Alas, out she shot accompanied by my scream.
But when she was placed inside my arms, it all seemed like a dream.
I felt no pain and was unaware of the state of me below,
and I just stared at this creation, that used my womb to grow.

All the pain and all the gain, twas worth every painful minute!
I had my baby and my new life, and was ready to begin it.
The first cry and first smile and first hug and bubbly kiss.
Its all an experience, no woman should ever have to miss!.
