Great list! I think it’s important for more moms to share their birth stories and tips so new moms can see the truths about it. I know I’ve been told some pretty wacky things before, too. I learned from my 3rd baby that it’s okay to stay home for a while, like you mentioned in #2. And #5…poop…LOL!! That happened w/me with my 4th baby (last year) and I gotta tell ya, I still think about that moment sometimes and laugh. LOL!!

My mom is really good at scaring the crap out of me…I never had a pap smear until I got pregnant because she described it in such horrifying detail, complete with sound effects (yeah, really. Sound effects.). So now, somewhat sadly, I take what she says with a grain of salt a lot of times, because I know she is probably overreacting, lol!!

In reply to Mandi. Congratulations! That is so exciting! Motherhood is WONDERFUL and I honestly loved both of my deliveries. So don't sweat it! :)

I wish I would have known you when my sister was preggers. She heard horrible stories, just horrible. And she was already having so many problems that it just made things worse. AMEN to keeping YOUR drama to YOURSELF and letting this preggo mama enjoy this moment. 🙂 I like this post.

The coloring books are a great idea. I brought word searches.

It's so true that every single birth is different. I've had three and the first was an epidural induced numb bliss. The second was natural and I still didn't consider it pain. The third was natural and it was the worst pain I've felt in my life.

*shrugs*

There isn't a rule book filled with guidelines on how exactly it's going to go.

The best thing to do is try to stay as relaxed as possible and understand that yes...the baby is going to come out one way or another....and when you see your baby for the first time everything else goes away.
