Curiosity about the famous Maternity Souvenirs
Despite being extremely common and almost mandatory, the distribution of gifts and treats by parents in the maternity ward, or when after discharge, relatives and friends will visit the baby at home, Brazil is the only country that has the culture of giving gifts to visitors after the birth of a child.
In some regions of Mexico there is something similar, but it is not practiced by everyone as it is in our country. The most common thing in other places is for visitors to bring gifts for mom and baby, which can be flowers or fruits and sweets. For the baby, clothes or some hygiene item, and even accessories such as pacifiers and the like.
Visits are reduced to close family and close friends. So there is no need for souvenirs. Some countries adopt “sweet baby announcements” , which is a card with a photo of the baby, announcing their arrival. It is usually sent by post and is also a way of saying that visits are cleared.

Since I imagined myself as a mother, in my thoughts everything seemed to be much easier and simpler than it really was, I expected to get pregnant as soon as I wished, but it wasn’t that simple. The first pregnancy was smooth, but my daughter’s birth was very troubled. Joana was born in 2002 with a weight of 2930kg and 45cm, from a very peaceful cesarean delivery but she had already been born with congenital pneumonia due to a broken bag not treated with antibiotics even before delivery.
