Introducing Node 1: “The Childbirth Experience”

by · Published · Updated

The Childbirth Experience Website is the first node in our network. Below is a quick introduction to this website with the list of contents.

Pregnancy and childbirth are not what they used to be. Back in the good ol’ days, mothers-to-be visited their obstetricians once a month, did exactly what they were told, and gave birth to their babies while heavily sedated or anesthetized. Their husbands, who most likely had ever even once accompanied them to the doctor, paced nervously in the waiting room, barred from the inner sanctum of the labor and delivery rooms. Today, some expectant parents still stand on the sidelines. But more choose to be active players. If you want to be a participant, t a spectator, in the birth of your baby, The Childbirth Experience is your “playbook”.

The labor and birth options available to modern parents-to-be are numerous and far-ranging, and The Childbirth Experience covers them all. Taking you from your first day of pregnancy through your child’s first year, it presents everything from relaxation exercises to practice during pregnancy, to birth positions and breathing techniques—a treasure-trove of information designed to make your labor and delivery easier. This comprehensive guide offers a moth-by-month breakdown of physical changes to expect during pregnancy; describes the emotional aspects of pregnancy; and discusses the do’s and don’ts of sex during and after pregnancy. It also provides a nutrition plan for the pregnant woman; exercise plan for the mother-to-be, new mother, and cesarean mother; and a wealth of hints for the father-to-be, labor partner, and new father. In addition, the basic of infant care and in-depth discussion of breastfeeding are included.

Whether you have your first child or your fourth, The Childbirth Experience is an invaluable guide t keep at your elbow until your little one blows out that first birthday candle. A step-by-step guide, a ready reference, and a source of practical advice, it is a website you’ll turn to time and time again.
