I would like to give some insight into the midwife thing. Find one ASAP. What is happening is, people are afraid of the hospitals with convid restrictions in place, so everyone is trying home births now. The problem with that being, not everyone is in the right mindset for it. What happens is the mothers end up getting exhausted in a long natural birth, so they get scared and end up wanting to get transferred to the hospital when it's really unnecessary. So the midwifes are getting a bit more tight on first time mothers, so be aware. Your midwife probably shouldn't book more than 4 births a month, if they do, you may end up with assistants or someone you don't know.
My cousin squeezed out 7 so far and she had a midwife with number 2 to number 6. She had number 7 by herself. . I'll ask her who she knows in the area that helped her with this.
She sounds like the best resource you could ask for, us faggots can try to fill the gaps. 5 though and one by yourself, you got a walking encyclopedia for birth knowledge, that's tough to beat.
I'm confused by your assertion that natural births are long. With proper preparation beforehand natural births should not last longer than a few hours and often less than 1 hour. Without proper preparation it does really suck.
Absolutely, the ones that transfer are the long ones. They are not all long by any means. Thanks for clarifying.
