I wish pregnant women took more time to educate themselves on - TopicsExpress



          

I wish pregnant women took more time to educate themselves on things like hospital policies on monitoring and freedom of movement, breathing techniques, and different positions for labor and birth rather than googling how to lose the baby weight or what color should I paint the nursery? Do not get me wrong, finding that paint color is part of nesting and youre entitled to that. I am just using examples to show my frustration in how much America has focused being pregnant on buying all the most outrageous materialistic things you can find that you and your baby would be perfectly fine without. Why arent we teaching women to do research? Find the best midwife or OB, research your hospitals cesarean statistics and labor and delivery policies, educate yourselves on interventions and their risks/benefits. These things are important. Dont let the cute pinterest boards full of pink frills and blue teddy bears distract you from owning your experience. Your birthing experience is what your pregnancy should be focused on.
