The experience of childbirth is something very personal and unique. It can be an incredible experience, it can be a not very positive experience, but we can understand that it is a unique experience.
This event can be seen from various perspectives of the different elements that make it up.
The first person we can mention is the mother - the one who will give birth and conceive a baby. It is a time of great emotions, expectations and some fears.
The second person is the father. He is anxious, wants to help in any way possible, wants everything to go well and expects to see his baby.
The third person is the family and friends, who are excited about the new arrival of a member of the family and ready to welcome him.
On the other hand, we can consider that this moment is prepared (as much as possible) during the 9 months of pregnancy. Whether by the way they approach this period - the food, the activity they carry out and the behaviours they adopt.
Nowadays, parents need to prepare themselves for the future of their family and this includes all the care they will have with their baby, the various doctor's appointments to follow the baby's growth, what kind of behaviour to adopt, the acquisition of all possible knowledge and the necessary equipment adapted to receive the new member of the family.
In addition, many treatments and practices have been presented as indispensable for the preparation for childbirth, such as visits to birth preparation technicians. All these practices are often requested by mothers and fathers in order to have one more step in the preparation for this moment.
However, we cannot forget that the experience of a birth is something extremely emotional. The feeling of holding your baby in your arms is indescribable and many people define it as the most special and important moment in a parent's life.
In this way, we wanted to bring one of our Wedoble Talks guests, Andreia Vasconcelos - author of the blog Tomás My Special Baby and the book Maternidade, Amor e Trissomia. We know about her experience with motherhood with her four children and we asked Andreia to explain and tell us about her birth experience - the different sensations, the expectations, the situation lived, the different experiences with the different births she had and the whole situation that makes up this event.
So, we leave here the conversation we had with Andreia at Wedoble Talks and we thank her very much for her availability and time to come and talk about her birth experience.
