FTM - Surreal comparisons

My only comparison is like you're bracing for labor like you know you're going to get in a major painful car accident at some point in the next couple days but can't pinpoint when and it's going to change your life forever after somehow (injury and/or life mentality) but it'll change your life perspective. Sounds pretty morbid but that's how I'm waiting for this bone crushing natural labor. And then having a human to take home, well.. that's just sleep deprivation I'm bracing for. I know the abundance of love will cover all of the above but - can't help feel the realism on this side of pregnancy.
