I’m a new mom and am not very educated on the actual days leading up to and giving birth. I plan on having my baby girl in the hospital very traditional. I was hoping you ladies could tell me facts or your stories about dilation, contractions, giving birth, and pros and cons of getting an epidural. How was it pain wise and what about the following weeks? How did your life change in the first few weeks. I’m trying to prepare myself as much as I can thank you please reply!
