I thought this may interest you all, I love that she talks of the awful things you do , it would scare anyone I should imagine, but to then tell you to video it all??????
What no one tells you about childbirth >From Parents Expecting 2002 ( an information ((?)) mag for parents) Vomiting due to low B/P after epidural also in labour without sometimes you make nasty noises you may have a bowel movement right on the delivery table. You act like a lunatic - especially if you haven't been given any pain medication. Throwing off your clothes simply a common reaction to pain and exhaustion.If you do lose it, don't feel bad. Doctors and nurses are used to reactions such as these. (Still it wouldn't hurt to apologise afterward). Your mind goes blank This litany of horrors you should know about ends with... "You're also likely to forget many details of the birth itself, so be sure your partner takes plenty of photos or captures it all on videotape!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also to finish off (and this is classic to show that this is all about the reporter). It's not love at first sight. Don't feel bad if your first reaction to holding your newborn isn't overwhelming joy. You've just been through an exhausting experience and need time to recover. You can try breastfeeding - then let a nurse take your child so you can get some rest. That's what I did after 17 hours labour and a c section. But after an hour, I had them bring back my baby girl and I was immediately smitten. Wow I would love to do a study on the journalists who publish these stories as a catharsis to their own experiences! You know my birth was crap so all of you should expect crap births! -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics. Visit <http://www.acegraphics.com.au> to subscribe or unsubscribe.
