What exactly should I expect when I arrive in labor at the hospital?
To tell the truth, I do not know what to expect sometimes, but if I think what exactly to expect I will say this, I expect easy labor and a quick, no pain. When I arrive at the hospital all I want a relaxing time where I can concentrate on my job. I don’t want no one to ask me if I ok, I want them to tell me you are doing a good job even I know I am in pain and all I want to be over. But that is from me, but thinking of my client, I do not know exactly, but all I want for my client a quiet room, no too many interruptions, I do not want the staff asking my client if she needs or wants medication for her pain or if she wants the epidural even I know all we want as pregnant women easy labor.
What exactly should I expect? That moment all we expect is the baby arrives, hears the baby cried and holding and feels happy because all we were expecting was only the baby. We can plan how exactly we want the labor, and how many people we want in the room, let them staff our plan and what we want in the room. I arrive in the hospital all I want to see my client happy and satisfy, she did a good job and all the hard work she did was worthy because, in the end, all we want is the baby to behold in the arms. We expect the everything will be perfect, but we do not know what is going to happen after we are in the room things can change, we get scared, we ask the questions, we look around because what we were expecting is not exactly what is happening in the room.
The moment we arrived at the hospital we feel nervous, maybe exhausted, all the client plan with the Doula with a partner is not coming exactly what we were expecting and how we were expecting when we were arriving at the hospital. All this experience we are experiencing let know us no everything is perfect, but when we have the right people in our room, we feel confident because we know everything is going to be right. What exactly should I expect when I arrive in the labor at the hospital? We expecting the arrival of a beautiful baby there we were waiting for so long.
