I wished i had read more and known more about how my body works. I read alot of pregnancy books but people really need to read more about how their bodies work during childbirth and how to work with their bodies.
things ive learnt.
- You have every right to ask questions and press a buzzer if there is no one there and you are wondering something. Dont feel midwives and drs are too busy to be disturbed and asked questions. To them this is an every day occurance but what they need to remember is that this may be your first time.
- Dont accept that it has to be this way - read up - ask questions - As Baby_Socks mentioned Try and find out about all your options.
- For first timers take learning about positions in your anti natal classes seriously. In my classes with my first our entire class spent the whole time laughing about how funny the positions were instead of really learning the importance of them and how much they can help in Birth.
- After the birth If you have a question again or are having difficulty Breastfeeding than buzz, even if you still dont get it after them coming in time and time again, Keep asking questions and keep buzzing.
Will have to come back, theres so much i have in my head but cant think at the moment. lol.
