Aa
mommys to be
It's March! some (like me) have already had their babies but many are still awaiting their little bundle of joy. I am a first time mom, and i did my research and asked my questions but there was still a bunch of things i wasn't anticipating. I just wanted to share a little wisdom. Make your birth plan even if its just "i want this and this is a last resort" and make sure your companion knows it. Things happen thats its not always 100% but atleast you have a plan. And DON'T let anyone bully you. Not friends not family not the nurses NO-ONE. For mine the nurses pressured me to go natural, I'm happy i got the epidural. But when it started wearing off the nurse basically called me a liar and said i was exaggerating. Had i spoke my mind sooner my labor could have gone easier. Stand your ground! Feel free ask questions and chip in advice mamas!
I got to the hospital just after 4pm, admitted at 5. I got my epidural just before 7. It ran out/ got changed around 2:30 am. And started wearing off shortly after. it was finally fixed at about 4 am and i had my daughter at 4:15
