First births

In my poll about first birth experiences, answers varied. First births are so filled with many different kinds of emotions that it can be an overwhelming experience. Pregnancy with your first baby is usually an exciting time for many women as they prepare for their very first child. In preparing for the birth, mommies to be can't help but picture how they would like their birth to pan out. But as I have learned, one can never predict, or plan. It is important to be well educated about the different situations that can occur before, during and after birth in order to approach your pregnancy and birth with an positive but open mind. Excitement about meeting your baby and being a mom is a perfectly healthy feeling and should be embraced to the fullest!
