In this episode of the Raw Parenting Podcast, we share our unfiltered experiences and valuable insights on what new moms and dads can expect in the first few days after giving birth.

We discuss the initial moments after delivery, including the baby's appearance, the cleaning process, and the emotional impact on both the mom and dad.

Then, we transition to the maternity ward, emphasizing the importance of having a private room if possible. We share our experiences with breastfeeding challenges, the support provided by nurses, and the constant interruptions for vital checks and tests.

We also touch on the difficulties of swaddling and the joy of witnessing the baby's first bath.

Throughout the episode, we highlight the reality of hospital stays, including the lack of sleep, the necessity of frequent check-ups, and the mixed feelings about leaving the hospital. We compare our experiences between our first and second births, noting how our perspective and preparedness changed the second time around.
