How was your recovery from birth?
Second time round my recovery took longer. I put this down to being 5 years older.

Do you have any advice or helpful hints or tips that we can share with parents to be?

Listen to your body and the midwife. When they say not to push and pant do this! I always remember my sister in law telling me this & with both of my births I only had small grazes. Also, be kind to yourself and do what you feel is best for you and your baby.
