Are childbirth classes really necessary?

No, you don’t. You don’t need to take a childbirth class, just like you don’t need to hire a doula, and you don’t need to have someone you love with you when you give birth, and you don’t need to pack a hospital bag, and you don’t even need to let your mother-in-law know you’re in labor (maybe).

Do you shave before giving birth?

What’s the official line? The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) told us that no midwife would tell or expect a pregnant woman to shave or wax her pubic hair before turning up on the labour ward. If you want to, that’s fine; if you don’t, that’s also fine.

What is the ring of fire while giving birth?

The labia and perineum (the area between the vagina and the rectum) eventually reach a point of maximum stretching. At this point, the skin may feel like it’s burning. Some childbirth educators call this the ring of fire because of the burning sensation felt as the mother’s tissues stretch around the baby’s head.
