Childbirth Stories

Childbirth stories are a great way of finding out what to expect as you head towards that labor and birth stage of your pregnancy.

If your a first time Mum, you're probably feeling pretty anxious about the impending birth. After all it is going to happen, there's no getting out of it! Watching childbirth videos can give you a good insight of what to expect and what it's all going to look like, but there's something more rewarding about reading birth stories.

The worst thing I think, if your a first time Moms is that you don't know what to expect, what will happen when you arrive at the hospital? How much does labor really hurt? Will you be able to bare the pain? How long does each stage of labor last for? What does it feel like as your baby starts to crown?

When you read about someone elses experience it will explain why things happened, how long they happened for, and give you an insight into what 'Mom' was thinking at the time.

You can read my child birth stories here. My babies both arrived by a natural vaginal birth, but they were very different from each other.

Do read lots of birth stories, and be ready for the birth of your baby by preparing for every outcome, you just never know what might happen.
