I currently do not have a birthing experience that I can share right now. I do not remember my own birth and I do not have any children. I asked my mom about my birth and she told what she could. My mom told me that she was in labor for 17 hours and was very hysterical. She also had very high blood pressure during the pregnancy. My mom told me even though she went through a lot of pain she is happy that I am here.

A lot of pregnant mothers do not go to the obstetrician but rather use a midwife to help deliver their baby. Most of the women prefer home births rather than going to the hospital. If the woman decides to go to the hospital most of the time they do not receive an epidural because they would rather deliver their baby naturally. After a woman delivers the baby, they go home where they have maternity home care for seven days. A nurse comes in and helps take care of the baby, cook, clean and monitors the visitors that come to visit.
It is good to know that your mother could share her personal birthing experience with you. Like your mother I was in labor for a long time 16 hours to be exact. Nice blog
ReplyDeleteI had a midwife during my last pregnancy. I felt that she was more personal than that of a doctor. She answered many of my questions and was more caring. With the doctor i was always referred to a different nurse for my questions. With the midwife she answered everything herself.
