Whether you're a first-time mom or a fourth-time mom, having a new baby always comes with its own bundle of surprises. Their very size is astounding — how could something so alive be so small, and how could something so big have fit in your belly? It doesn't matter if you're lying on a table following a C-section, sitting in a tub after a water birth, or enjoying the privacy of your own home, the first moment your see your new baby is a very tender time.

There will be bumps, mistakes, surprises and game changers along the way, and no two times will be the same. Nurse Educator Kendra enlightens us on some of the lesser known facts about giving birth.
