Childbirth
As the time for the baby’s birth draws nearer, the mother thinks about the delivery, postpartum period, the newborn, and what her day-to-day routine with the baby and parenting will be like.
Mothers think about the future. Baby’s birth arouses strong feelings: joy, love, tenderness, fears and even anxiety.
Labour and delivery of a baby is a powerful physical and psychological experience and should be prepared for in advance. The actual labour and delivery cannot be planned or scripted, but one can prepare for the childbirth mentally, physically and by searching for information. A mother-to-be may think about the upcoming birth of her baby with fluctuating emotions and thoughts. At times she may be overwhelmed by insecurity, even impatience, and at other times she may feel overjoyed with focus on meeting the newcomer whom she can feel moving under her ribs.
