The good? Is ending up with a healthy baby and mama. There are still parts of the world where that is far from a foregone conclusion.

Labor pains can be so intensive that one becomes afraid of losing control. Maternity Acupressure method is something that truly helps to manage labor pains and stay in control and helps at least postpone the need of medical pain relief that can slow down labor (acupressure doesn’t have such negative impact at all). Thanks for recommending Naomi Wolf’s book! Thanks for a great post! Labor pains can be so intensive that one becomes afraid of losing control.

Even five months after, when I get upset about how things went, I remind myself of that, and it makes me feel better.

I agree with your points that it is very important to understand what happened (but that is not always possible in the UK as short staffing is a common problem). A good cry and a positive attitude help. The main thing is that mother and baby are healthy. In my experience, the labour might be tough but the following weeks are even harder!
