Blog Assignment One:


The birthing experience that I chose to talk about was the birth of my son last month. It was a whirlwind of an experience. My water broke around 11:15pm and my son was born at 2:14am. I decided that I wanted to have a drug-free, water birth. I would highly recommend water birth to anyone. I found the birthing tub much more comfortable then the bed. I really don’t remember a lot of the experience, it went by so fast. I remember being in extreme pain, and then the feeling of relief when it was over. Now that it is over, it was amazing. 

 
I chose to research birthing methods in Australia. A majority of the babies that are born in Australia are born “naturally” or vaginally. This is similar to my experience since I had my baby naturally. I found a useful website called Bellybelly.com.au. It has tips and information about conception, pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and more.

  4. Congratulations on your new bundle of joy! Enjoy your time together. Even though you are completing your master’s degree, make it a point to nap whenever the baby is napping. You will feel so good, that you will ace your homework.
