OK this is a silly question but it's bothering me, any feedback would be appreciated.
I am due to give birth in Feb, I am not overly worried about that process. Yes I know it's going to hurt, possibly quite a bit but I am not focusing on that as it doesn't seem very helpful. The bit that worries me is afterwards, when my baby is handed to me. I have seen some newborn babies which are all calm and blinky - and some that are screaming for England.
If mine is a screamer, what do you do?!! Is she likely to be hungry - or will trying to ram a breast at her after all the trauma of being born just make things worse? I have no idea why I am worrying about this, just don't want to look like a idiot by getting it wrong right at the start.
Can you tell this is my first?
