Good for you, IsoM. Today it's so accepted that women will have a voice in childbirth, but I know it hasn't always been that way.
My son, unfortunately, developed jaundice because he and I were different blood types and my O blood didn't like his. But it was fortunate in a way, because I didn't have to drop that baby and get back to the fields. I had a couple extra days in the hospital. By the time he left, he was a super eater, and I could have fed quadruplets. :) It really was a blessing (although I hate hospitals) because I had never so much as held a baby and was totally overwhelmed with fear. At least we could change a diaper and hold him with minimal fear of breaking him by time we left. And the women that tought how to breastfeed were the best.
