Thoughts & Musings
Let me be honest:
My husband is NOT good at positive affirmations. He does not know how to share his feelings and he is pretty much the worst at amping up a situation. I'm actually pretty sure he doesn't even know what positive affirmations are!
If you shook your head in agreement to any of these statements in regards to your partner, keep reading. I want to help your partner get better at sharing words of affirmation, especially as a new dad.
We all have seen the old adage of movie stars giving birth flat on their back in every moving portraying birth... ever. They usually make it look terrifying and not like something I would ever want to do!
The great thing is that trying different labor positions and birthing positions is becoming the norm and screaming flat on your back is no longer what we expect during birth.
I want to share with you three of my favorite laboring and pushing positions as you plan for your upcoming birth.
You planned for the pregnancy, you planned for the labor, you planned for the birth and you planned for the baby. Did you plan for the postpartum bleeding? Postpartum bleeding can take many women by surprise, especially those who have experienced a cesarean birth. Many think that because a baby was not delivered vaginally, that there wont be as much or the same type of bleeding. Heres the thing, all of our bodies do the exact same thing when we are pregnant.
