A birth experience can be traumatic even if it doesn’t end in an emergency cesarean, nurse Jen Hamilton said. Having conversations, asking questions and making plans can prepare you for the best experience possible.
Most people anticipate the day of their child’s birth to be one of the happiest of their lives, but the experience isn’t always so uncomplicated. Things can change quickly when delivering a baby, and the experience could start to look different from what you expected, said North Carolina-based labor and delivery nurse Jen Hamilton. The goal of labor is to have a happy and healthy mom and baby at the end, but it should be the minimum of what we strive for, she said.
And also talking about how you like to process information: Are you somebody that if something is changing, you want to know every single detail? Are you somebody who wants to know just the nitty-gritty? It helps me to be able to communicate with you, knowing who is important to you and who you do not want to be there. Those are some good birth vibes to think about, but any plan that comes in obviously is subject to change.
