#30. Ten Weird Things You Need To Know About Your Newborn At Birth
Manage episode 440774477 series 3485759
Welcome to this episode of The Labor Room Podcast, where I'm diving deep into a topic that doesn't get talked about enough – the immediate care of newborns right after birth. You may think you're prepared, with all the advice you've gathered about sleepless nights and endless diaper changes, but there's so much more that new parents need to know.
In this episode, I'll walk you through the top ten most surprising and often weird things you'll encounter in those first moments and hours after your baby is born. As a labor and delivery nurse, I see the same concerns popping up from new parents over and over again, and trust me, they are all perfectly normal! We'll cover everything from your baby’s unexpected appearance to their breathing patterns, and help ease your mind as you step into the world of parenthood.
Whether you’re a first-time parent or even a seasoned one, this episode will help prepare you for the things that no one tells you about your newborn at birth. So grab a cup of coffee, take a deep breath, and let's dive into all the things that make those first few hours with your baby a little less stressful.
