Prepare for a Positive Birth As the baby boom continues in the Irish maternity hospitals are literally bursting at the seams. With more Mums labouring in corridors on trolleys is there anything you can do to stack the odds in your favour of having a healthy baby and a positive birth? You’ll never forget your experience of giving birth, so it makes sense to do all you can to make sure the experience is as positive as possible – and no, that doesn’t necessarily mean an incense waving whale-song home birth. Despite what some well meaning friends will tell you it is more than possible to have a positive experience AND a healthy baby – you don’t have to trade one for the other. With a little preparation ahead of time a positive experience isn't just possible - it's probable. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2why are people bringing so many children into the world at a time when they will have no job or public services and most will be doomed to a life of economic serfdom to the banks or emigration which is increasingly restricted. It's crazy! Just goes to show how Irrational and driven by their genitals the human race are. Daft!
Life is becoming cheaper by the minute in this world. I feel sorry for the little buggers. Because their parents are either incompetent (can't use birth control) totally irresponsible (unless on the FF/bank/developer/landlord payroll) or just plain stupid and irrational (because they choose to have children in the current situation without much regard for the difficulties their child will be born into)
are you really that sorry your parents inflicted existence on you?
Twas ever thus.
