In this session, we learned all about signs of labour & breadtfeeding. The signs of labour sounds a bit scary as the midwife put it. But I believe will go well for me. Just gotto be calm when the sign shows. Firstly, the sign could be frequent contractions that painful. It's different from Braxton hicks contraction. Secondly, waterbag burst which I will have to be admitted immediately. Lastly, shows of blood stain which I will have to be admitted immediately as well. Not necessary for all three to happen at the same time but any of the sign that occur will indicate that I m in labour!
Then the midwife talks about breadtfeeding. This topic is really interesting! Not only it's interesting but also amazing. God's creation is real amazing. Milk can be produced by mother & it's through bloodstream that turn into milk. The bonding between baby & mother during breastfeeding is something that none other activities can bring. In order to have successful breastfeeding, aside from the 101% support from my hubby, I will also need to have confidence & patience. Mother's milk contains highest nutrients for baby & we don't have to worried whether there's enough nutrients in the milk for baby. All nutrients contained in breastmilk are in great proportion required by baby. Again it's another amazing creation by god! Although I have not hands on to breadtfeeding skill but during the class, we are taught on the method. And after delivery, hospital will arrange midwife/nurses to teach again on the method. I shall learn & practice patiently once my baby arrives. Thinking to breastfeed for as long as I can or if not at least 6months to make sure she gets enough nutrients as possible.
