As every Wednesday we will propose the question of the week, also collecting the most valued response to that of the previous week.
This week we talked about how complicated motherhood can be if our partner doesn't share our ideas about parenting and that is why the question we ask you this time is precisely that:
Do you share parenting ideas with your partner?
Last week's question
Last week our question was this: Did the childbirth preparation classes help you?
The most valued response by readers is that of Vickitoria
They served me. I liked to go. In addition to the exercise part, I found the talks useful, especially about childbirth itself and breastfeeding. Beyond the typical teachings of positions to dilate, breastfeed, etc., they gave me some advice that served me much later in childbirth: the first one to “open me to pain”, not to contract me, that if it hurt, it was because the moment to meet my daughter was getting closer, that it was natural and that, after all, it didn't last a lifetime. I had a natural birth, without epidural, and I enjoyed every moment (yes, I enjoyed it!). The second was to have positive thoughts during contractions. Instead of frowning, cursing, sending my husband to fry churros, etc ... think nice things. I remember, with my first daughter, thinking during the last contractions at the time I was going to accompany her to buy her first bra! LOL. But in the end, it helped me to escape from that situation of pain and concentrate on something else. And the last tip was that a few days before the date, I visualized a door, some that brings me good memories, that I like for something in particular. I thought of the entrance gate of my parents' camp, a large door, which when opened opens the car comfortably. Then, every time you had a contraction, visualize the door opening. I don't know if that was it, but I dilated very quickly. Anyway, I think the information is safety and at the time of delivery and then with the baby at home is when we most need to feel safe. If they give you information, they tell you experiences and above all, the message is positive, I think the courses are useful.
