Having birthed no babies of my own, I have no labor advice, but having worked with kids for years, my general advice is always this: trust your instincts and don't over-think stuff. Good luck!!Lasshttp://thelass.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572632408227474066.post-11416405393164390452010-04-05T19:27:33.088-07:002010-04-05T19:27:33.088-07:00Looking forward to the big announcement-baby is he...Looking forward to the big announcement-baby is here.

I know it's supposed to come out of concern, but I think it's rude. Because what if you're actually not tired at all? Then you feel like a hag.<br /><br />Not that this has happened to me or anything.

Just sleep whenever the baby sleeps, day or night. 3 hours, 6 x a day is pretty good odds :)<br /><br />As for birthing advice, I had reflexology in the weeks up to due date with both kiddos, specifically for the purpose of not going two weeks past and having to be induced. I gave birth 1 day over due date with both. And it's always nice to have someone give you a foot rub!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572632408227474066.post-75319730362170405322010-04-04T18:31:09.539-07:002010-04-04T18:31:09.539-07:00Never tell people your actual due date.

I know it;s hard to consider when you're already getting up forty-eleven times a night, but being super-well hydrated makes labor go faster and easier. If they offer you IV fluids at the hospital, the proper response is "yes please." Labor is a bad time to be dehydrated!<br /><br />Also, you'll feel fantastic having dropped <i>so much weight</i> so easily, just by shedding all the extra water you drank. It's a totally cheater-pants approach to looking like you've dropped the baby weight, but whatever works, right?Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17942054277477328292noreply@blogger.com
