I thought maybe we could share things that helped us in previous births (if this is not your first.) Or things we are planning to do during our labor to get us through... Maybe you have special things you eat/drink. Positions that have worked, birth balls, cd's songs etc.
We are planning a natural birth this is our second... but I have drugs with my first, so I have ideas, but not sure what others are out there.
I am planning to have some fresh fruit on hand for munching..nothing heavy. The hospital has a birthing ball in the room we can use, so i plan on trying that. Last time it seemed to help if I got on all 4's and rocked back and forth...something about having my tummy hanging down seemed to help. Maybe get in the shower.
