I didn't have much regret over eloping, but I did have a ton of regret for having a csection. My first born son came into the world and neither I nor my husband witnessed it. They had to knock me out so they wouldn't allow my husband in the room. I mourned that experience for years!

But now, my son will start Kindergarten in September and it doesn't really matter to me how he came into the world; just that he is here. Things don't always turn out the way you plan. I once read that you have to give up the life you have planned in order to receive the life that is waiting for you.
