Anyone reading Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth? She’s a an amazing midwife, she’s done TED talks and interviews on YouTube. Check her out! Found some helpful advice on the Mind Body Connection, how your thoughts and feelings affect your body and birth. I can choose the birth I want with my mind. Also, oxytocin from smooching my man can help labor progress! Planning a peaceful empowering birth/postpartum with hypnobirthing techniques, a birth pool, birth ball, diffuser, all the snacks I want, I’ve heard protein for early labor and carbs for active labor are good, also coconut water, honey sticks, and electrolytes… I’ve had a few tightening sensations but nothing consistent, so it’s a waiting game now!
