What's your secret?

Question

What's your best secret to your short and easy labor/deliveries? What are the things you did that you SWEAR made THE difference?

Answer

Assuming it would be long and awful. I figured baby would be 10 pounds and 2 weeks late, and id be in labor for three days. So when I was only in labor at all for 16 hours I was delighted. Only the last three hours were at the hospital - don't go in until you're contractions are 3-5 minutes apart for an hour! I went about my day instead of sitting at the hospital being frustrated and uncomfortable. And once I got to the hospital I stayed out of the bed. The lady came to change the sheets after baby was born and laughed when she found that I'd delivered on a par on the floor. But beds are AWFUL for delivering babies.

Answer

Once I started breathing through my contractions instead of tensing up when they happened it made a world of difference. That is definitely my best advice.
