This is really very helpful. I am doing all the homework now as baby is coming soon. When baby comes, I hope I will have time to write about my experience and to share with others as a way to help!
I just realized how little do I know about pregnancy and baby. It's funny how little we Western women educate our fellow sisters about any of it. I wish I had learned something like that in school just to have a basic.
In other countries in this world, particularly the underdeveloped nations, women constantly witness and share these vital details as part of their daily lives.
This knowledge is not available for general consumption and I really have to research and ask around.
Therefore, I really appreciate your assistance and information sharing.
Anything I can do to help, I will! I'm no expert on motherhood, but as a mother I guess I do have plenty to share! I think I may do some posts for pregnancy, or new mothers... I've got a few ideas, maybe it will be helpful to share them :-)
You're absolutely right, in the West we're not taught much about pregnancy/babies (I guess they don't want to encourage us to have them too early, but is ignorance really helpful?!) and in other cultures they witness and help out from very young ages. That's a very good point. They even deliver their own babies, whereas we in the West wouldn't dream of it!
Thank you and please do!
