Child Birth

know one can tell you how pain fully a child birth can be. Its not the fact that it feel like your doing stools in slow motion or the cold wetness feeling as the baby finally comes out. And the drainless body after wards and all you want to do is sleep.The painfully contractions as you feel like there are ripping your insides out and all the nurses keep fixing gas and air over your mouth.
Which makes feel lightheaded and sick feeling in your mouth.

We are given no manual like a car on what happens next as your sink your nails into your husband hand as the pain starts up again.
Or hurry into the birth room as you waters start to break and then the nurses are hurrying into the room incase you delivery the baby on to the
corridoor floor. All the waiting telling you you are doing well as you grin and bear through the pain and keep on doing your breathing as you was shown.
When its feeling like hours since they last said it not long now.

But when its your first baby you don’t really know what going to happen.
People who had babys give advice how they had theirs but we are all different and how much do you want to believe their nightmare births.
you get a chance to look around the hospital were you are going to have it onless its a home birth.

Then you be advice on the method that you want gas and air or more pain relief. With been your first they will a few trips to hospitals thinking your baby on its way only to find they are flase alarms but don’t feel stupid about it its normal. Then you be asked to take every thing for the baby inculding nappies and believe me you we need a few nappies.

Once the baby your asked to bring a carry cot in to take the baby home in. Then its on to dirty nappies bottle feeding and restless nights.
And cracked sore breasts and stitches to heal up. What every  you do don’t turn down help from grand parents friends and family you deserve a rest too. Even when your want to scream leave me alone.

A nurse will vist your baby at home and weigh and check everything okay with you and the baby as with your first your never sure so a peace of advice comes in handy.

Don’t feel bad if you feel tearful as you are bound to be as the baby had up around the clock and you haven’t had much sleep if your lucky enough your partner could take turns even if your breast feeding you could express it and keep it in the fridge.

They is no excuses for your partner not to do it. When your first every thing seems to slow down as if  your taking things in slow motion like every thing going wrong and you feel like the baby more wanted that you as every one
asking and talking about the baby don’t take to heart it will wear off believe me. One stupid thing of advice they tell as you leave the hospital what birth pill do you want after you had the baby and the exercises to do.
As if you feel like either feeling wash out and so tired. But the nurses are fantastic they will take over feeding your baby and show how to bath the baby and nappies.

Some mothers will take in turns to watch the babys while go to the bathroom, and make you feel welcome if its your first time.
Don’t be too shy we have all been through it. Sometimes you maybe asked if you want young learning medical students looking over you but its okay as they normal have the doctors and nurses with them.

Sometimes the baby body heat might not go to plan and they might whisk away from you to wrap in warm blanket or the breathing not right but don’t start screaming or panic as the nurses bring back to you as you in safe hands.
