on your tour, remember to ask

if you can have your baby in the room at all times or not (whatever you are wanting).

Once your in there, do they hook you up to iv's and monitoring stuff, or are you able to walk around as necessary, and does it depend on how dilated you are.

tell them your exclusively breast feeding and don't want baby to have sugarwater or anything else.

HINTS:

I don't know if this happens after a c-section, but naturally delivered causes your uterus to shrink back up. Therefore, you will have contractions after delivering. they are not strong, but more like the beginning ones. Plus, breastfeeding will bring these on immediately too. It's really weird. But it's a GOOD thing. Your body is trying to tighten itself back up. Also, if these contractions are stronger than you'd like, (most likely they will not be because this is your first baby) then make sure you have urinated recently. If you have a full bladder, your contractions could be stronger.


that's all this mommy can think of so far. I'm excited for you!!! This will be a wonderful experience. Yes there is pain, but this is a pain and working experience for a wonderful creature that God has placed inside of you. It is a miracle that is going to happen and when you see her face you will forget everything up to that point because she will be so beautiful and you will have so much love in your heart for her.
