Because my friend just had a baby, it was a chance for me to learn some things. It's kind of insane that I knew none of this.
*Moms can be in labor (having intense contractions) for days.
*Vaginal tearing (not crying--other pronunciation and meaning) is common and so is the tearing (crying) of the perineum (aka taint).
*You can get a painkiller (epidural) or not. Up to you.
*After the baby is delivered, the placenta has to be birthed. Sit tight. Don't go running off. You gotta birth that placenta.
*Moms bleed heavily for like 6 weeks after the birth because all the stuff that was flowing to feed baby keeps flowing!
*Babies need to learn to breastfeed during a week or so long period. It's called latching. They have to learn how to do it properly.
*An endorphin or something is released when a woman breastfeeds.
Get someone pregnant in order to learn more.
