Joo
Hymn found her labour quite painful, but arrived at the hospital
pushing, and her baby was born just minutes later. Afterward, she struggled with breastfeeding for some time. In a letter to
her baby, Joo Hymn describes how proud she feels of the strength she
found within herself to cope with labour in the way she wanted, and how
glad she was that she persevered with breastfeeding.
