maternal education classes

Last week I began maternal education classes will be 6 classes a week, which is spoken delivery, postpartum, breastfeeding, maternal and artificial, newborn care and family planning, among other things.

I find it curious that when I commented that the classes of maternal eduacion people ask me "but you do again?" , and I say, why do not you, is it the fact of having given birth once means that you know everything? I can not make sense of this, I think it is worth remembering concepts that may have been forgotten, or learn to practice breathing relaxation techniques can help a lot in the time of delivery. It is also the best way to find out about changes and developments that may have occurred in the hospital to give birth, because fortunately we have not been stuck in the old techniques.

I'm one of the few mothers repeat and I keep having my doubts, of course not as a novice, but I have, so take the opportunity to serve as a good student with explanations of the midwife and I all questions that come to mind. In addition I also do my little contribution, if my experience can help some of expectant mothers to at least do not be afraid as the time of delivery.

Glad to know in the hospital where I gave birth, things have improved. My delivery was excellent and I was lucky to have a midwife who is committed to natural childbirth and respected, but to my great regret, no longer in the hospital, but at least you see your work here has taken effect and things are no longer as before. Things like enemas shaved and per system bear no longer, have included nitrous oxide (Entonox) - Babies and More in explains what it is, alternative analgesia, chairs are made with labor to help with pushes, has been reduced without episiotomy, among other things.

less instrumental

Other issues is that they allow the mother choose to delay and push position (unless continuous monitoring is required), which can give birth in bed instead of birthing the foal, and if the mother wants can help lift your baby after they have left the hombros.Con all this, my doubts about the delivery plan are practically resolved, I am glad that there is a center on its own initiative to do things without having to ask specifically.

Yet it is of more express your will. Yesterday the midwife gave us the book of the plan by the SAS, which I think is a wonderful advance, because until recently there were few mothers who had plan labor and some insiders seemed in the eyes of professionals and people in general. At least the chip has changed in this respect because, if you make a declaration of will or vital organ donation, why not express your wishes and requests when such a crucial moment as birth?

I am delighted with the class for me is a moment of pregnancy that is worth living and remember, I am sharing with daddy and that is not over, because it is the same as the first pregnancy the second, nor the first delivery to the second.

Of course, if they say that the latter tend to be faster deliveries the former because the effacement and dilation are usually given at once and I can not be aware that Ivan took me an hour and a half, to see if I will not be on time!
