Baby Birth Preparation
Today my wife was 8 months pregnant. This is my wife’s first pregnancy. Many things about pregnancy and birth preparation must I learn and do. Starting from the first trimester to third trimester, my wife’s routine pregnancy check to an obstetrician. Currently we already have to prepare for the birth of our first baby such as baby clothes, baby box, baby room, baby sitter etc.. Hopefully our babies could be born next month with a smooth and healthy.
The Bonding
Ahh, yes, that all-important bond. You will probably have mixed feelings when your baby is born. You may think you know this baby, but it’s actually going to take some time before your bond with him is cemented. Bonding is a process, not an event. Don’t feel strange if it’s not love at first when you first hold your baby. When you look back, you’ll be convinced that it was. You will gradually fall in love with him. We’re programmed to love whatever comes out. As your baby starts getting bigger and responding to your face and your voice, your emotions will naturally deepen. All that diapering and feeding and holding and rocking and breastfeeding will strengthen your maternal instincts. (This applies to deepening paternal instincts too—minus the breastfeeding.)
Full term newborns have an inborn reflex to suck. They will do this after birth, but not because they are hungry. Most full-term babies have packed on a layer of fat and water in preparation for birth. Their birth weight can be deceptive, particularly if you had a lot of fluids during labor. Some of that fluid will come off, so your baby will lose some weight—up to 10 percent of his newborn weight. You don’t need to worry. In fact, after an earthquake in Mexico that demolished a maternity hospital, one newborn was found alive after eight days under the rubble. Newborns typically lose between 5 and 10 percent of their birth weight during the days after birth, then begin to gain again. By the end of two weeks, most of them are back to their birth weight or close to it.
