It is TOUGH going past your due date. I realized this one first hand with the birth of my 3rd child. Even though I was a doula and helped many clients manage the emotions of going past their due date, I was still struggling when I went past mine.
I don’t really have any great words of wisdom about how to handle the emotions of going past a due date, but as my son has just had his 18th birthday I realize now that being a parent comes with a lot of challenging emotions. Going past the due date is just one. Each challenge that we conquer in parenting makes us a bit stronger so that we can better handle the next challenge.
Here’s a photo of us yesterday skiing together. He was definitely worth the wait.
