Tips on Getting Pregnant and General Health
Parenting is an exciting journey. We all start out knowing - well - not very much - and daily we gather snippets of news, advice and support from family and friends around us.
But each stage of parenting is fairly exclusive, and once you're over one stage, there isn't much time to look back, as several new challenges appear on the horizon. There are bound to be worries and concerns as you experience a host of new feelings and emotions.
The Baby Directory is very pro-choice, and we try very hard not to be too bossy about which way you decide to parent. We just know there is so much information to get one's head around, and that having it all in one place, makes life easier and more enjoyable.

Labour: what to expect Labour on average lasts around 12 to 15 hours, but this can be much longer or shorter. It tends to be longer with a first baby but no two women are the same, so trying to compare your expectations with the experiences of others won’t necessarily help. At certain stages pain relief or other procedures may take your birth experience in a different direction, but the outline below helps you understand the key stages of labour.
