I wish i was told a few things.

Like breastfeeding will hurt A LOT at the start and that is normal and to be expected but that it will pass within a few weeks and then not hurt at all.

That if you have an epidural then it will be turned off when you have to push the baby out - i had no idea about that and was in total shock and disbelief when my ob told me this with my first.

might have to come back to this with some more - brain not working very well at the mo but i know there were quite a few things that i wish i'd been told before hand.
