i can see someone wanting to relive the day after childbirth.
with my sister, the day of, well you're exhausted, tired, in pain, uncomfortable, etc. Your body is abused and mad at you. and there's such stress and uncertainty - will it be ok, will it have allits parts, will everything go ok
but then the day after. you've had a chance to shower, a chance to sleep, and the baby's there and it's all perfect and you can finally hold it and get to know it...and it's this gorgous time getting to know the little one and they're really not making any demands on you beyond wanting a little food. the stress of being mommy hasn't set in yet and the stress of becoming mommy is over.
