PROBABLY YOUR FIRST parenting decision is deciding how you would like to birth your baby (caesarean section or vaginal), and who will deliver your baby and where (which can be restricted by medical aid policies).
Remember, planning your birth is not like planning your wedding or a holiday.
Sure, you can plan, but also plan to expect the unexpected. Prepare yourself mentally, physically and emotionally for childbirth by reading about it, going to childbirth classes, doing exercises and teaching yourself how to relax.
Having someone to support you is important, but also prepare for doing it alone, just in case.
