Many women report a relaxed, calm state, helping them bond with their babies. Others even say they experience euphoria, a breastfeeding high brought on by the release of the hormones oxytocin and prolactin that accompanies baby's sucking.

Read More »Breastfeeding can feel like a roller coaster of ups and downs, depending on how used to it you’ve become. The good news: once you’ve adapted, many women say that breastfeeding feels great. However, breastfeeding can be pretty uncomfortable in the beginning. Your breasts will feel full, heavy, and swollen with the milk they’re carrying. Breastfeeding relieves that feeling, but your nipples will likely hurt for about two to three weeks when Baby first starts latching on and sucking. They’ll feel sore at best, but can get downright painful. Getting her to latch on correctly helps alleviate the pain, and after a few weeks, you’ll both likely be more acclimated with breastfeeding and feel less discomfort. Once that happens, many women love breastfeeding. It’s often described as a feeling of relief, especially if your breasts are full. Some women say that breastfeeding feels like a tingling, warm feeling in the breast, especially at the moment of the milk let-down reflex that begins the flow. The sucking feels like a gentle tugging sensation. Pleasurable feelings are common too, especially if you’ve enjoyed nipple stimulation in the past (so don’t feel weird about that!). And in the early weeks after delivery, don’t be surprised if breastfeeding triggers uterine cramps. They’re helping your uterus return to its post-baby size. Breastfeeding’s good feelings are often emotional as well as physical. Many women report a relaxed, calm state, helping them bond with their babies. Others even say they experience euphoria, a breastfeeding high brought on by the release of the hormones oxytocin and prolactin that accompanies baby’s sucking. Of course, every woman is different, and some just aren’t that into breastfeeding. If that’s you, it’s okay! You don’t need to force it. If there’s something specific about breastfeeding that doesn’t work for you, it can be a good idea to talk to a healthcare provider or lactation consultant, and see if there’s anything you can do to help make breastfeeding a better experience for you, but if it doesn’t work out, there’s always the pump or formula option.

Read More »Most women will feel increased pressure in their perineum, rectum, and low back at this stage. For many women, the rectal pressure feels the same as having a bowel movement. As the baby's head begins to appear, you may feel a stretching or burning sensation.
The pushing stage occurs after the cervix is completely dilated and no longer in front of the baby's head. A smooth passageway now exists through which you can push your baby from the uterus and down through the birth canal to delivery. Your contractions may decrease just prior to getting the urge to push. You should take this time to rest prior to pushing. The length of this stage varies with the position and size of the baby and your ability to push with the contractions. For first-time mothers the average length of pushing is one-to-two hours. In some instances, pushing can last longer than two hours if mother and baby are tolerating it. Normally, the baby is born with his face looking toward mother's back (referred to as an anterior position). However, some babies are facing the mother's abdomen (referred to as a posterior position). Posterior babies may have a more difficult time passing through the pelvis, which may cause pushing to be more difficult or require more than two hours of pushing.
