Preparing for Labour
Attending antenatal classes can help ease anxiety and mentally prepare you for labour. Packing a hospital bag and planning transportation can also be valuable. Remember, feeling nervous about labour is normal, but having a plan and feeling prepared can reduce stress and increase confidence as the birth approaches.
Different types of childbirth
Giving birth is a unique experience for every pregnant person, and there are different ways to do it. The most common methods are vaginal birth and caesarean section. In a vaginal birth, the baby passes through the birth canal, while in a caesarean birth, a surgical incision is made in the abdomen to deliver the baby. Other options, such as water birth and home birth, are becoming increasingly popular. The best method depends on the pregnant person’s health, possible complications, and personal preferences.
