Childbirth is one of the most unpredictable periods in a woman's life.
Get to know better in advance, what you should prepare for. 
The beginning of labor
Often times (of course, of course) you don't expect this to happen literally this second. That is why the moment the contractions begin and the hours that follow seem to be one of the most hellish in your life. The rate of onset of labor is 37-41 weeks.
The course of labor
Even if you've read everything about childbirth and its stages, something still doesn't go according to plan. It is worth noting: we are talking about natural childbirth - everything is clear with a cesarean section. By the way, several factors also affect the speed of childbirth: its location, labor activity, and head size. Also, be aware that pain can be severe, so check beforehand if you are allergic to pain relievers.Your childbirth behavior
Yes, almost anything can happen. This is fear, and laughter, and tears, and, of course, screams. It is better to ask your partner to be present at the birth. This is important because you will see support and your fear will dull a little.
