. Empower yourself
No two births are the same. Our babies are different, our bodies are different and there are so many different ways to labour and give birth.
That’s why it’s useful to do some background research. Understanding your options, the risks and the pros and cons of all the methods of pain relief and labouring can help you feel more in control and less frightened of the unknown.
'I went in feeling pretty prepared first time. I watched a lot of birth videos, read books, did active birth courses and researched positioning exercises. I was lucky that my first birth was great (fast, no drugs, 1600ml blood loss and stubborn placenta). But I felt like I had control.
Conversely second time I was bricking it! I was worried how I'd cope if it went differently to what I knew. I was worried about another postpartem haemorrhage and [retained] placenta. So I went through my old notes with my midwife and I did more research through the Association for Improvements in Maternity Services (AIMS) on placentas and third stage management.'
'I urge mums to do their own research, on anything they are worried about. Empower yourself with knowledge so you feel like you can make your own decisions.'
2. Prepare your mind
You’ve heard the horror stories. But for every bad experience, there is a mum out there with a positive story to tell. So focus on these (and wear ‘ear muffs’ for the others).
Although it seems hard to imagine, particularly if you’ve had a bad experience yourself, birth can be empowering and joyful. Lots of mums tell us it really helps to have a positive mindset. If you believe it’s possible, it can be.
'Something that really helped reduce my fear was hearing positive birth narratives. I sought out the "I sneezed and my baby was born" type stories, which made me believe it was possible to have a labour with minimal intervention.'
'My friend said that after hearing my birth story, she was so encouraged she got through most of her own labour at home without a fuss. I guess a lot of the time it's about believing that you can do it.'
'I found talking to my friends who had given birth about their experiences really helpful. It really calmed my nerves.'
'I looked up positive birth stories on the internet and read positive books, which I think impacted on my positive state of mind
