Get advice from a nurse-midwife: nm's focus on letting nature take its course, supporting the mom and the baby, and enhancing the physical-spiritual-psychological experience of childbirthRest. Be gentle with yourself. Stay hydrated.

Find joy in the blessing that is pregnancy. All survival activity is biologically meaningless unless having babies is involved.


Take this advice with a grain of salt, cuz it comes from a well-meaning soul who has no uterus.

Our prayers are with you .





That's all well and good until something goes wrong.

If you're going the nursemaid or Dula route or something, most hospitals are OK with that idea. It helps to have an OB nearby if something goes wrong.
