With the birth of my granddaughter getting closer, I can’t help but stress some about being my daughters birthing coach. I am happy and proud to be there for her but I have to admit, I am a bit nervous. I hope I have what it takes to be a good coach. To be able to be strong when she needs me to be. Some one asked me if I plan on cutting the cord. I hadn’t even thought of that! I guess I should. I mean how many grandma’s get that chance?
Thank goodness I have my husband to help me out, he was an amazing coach when we had Allison. I am really counting on him to give me some tips before it’s time.

As someone who helped coach through 3 births my only advice is if you are sensitive to smells try not to breathe. There is a distinct odor with childbirth. I got a little nauseated the first time it wafted past my nose. Other than that it is the most amazing thing I have ever been blessed to witness. I cried like a freakin baby. By the way, tell your daughter that the alpha omega elite is the bomb and so is the jumperoo. I have both and I love them.

I know with me, all the coaching went out the door and I screamed for drugs!!! And oooohhhh, they were good drugs!!!

The best thing you can do as a coach is recommend an epidural! hahaha. That will make both of your jobs easier.

I always get to go in with my sister and I just think it is the most wonderful thing in the world. Now the first time I was a bit skiddish and scared but not after 3 of them!

Good luck with that. Makes me kind of glad that I only have sons. I’d be nervous too.
