Thanks for pointing out how breathing and meditation can help you with the contractions. My cousin is set to give birth to a baby boy by January. This is her first time, so she’s got a lot of questions and anxiety about the whole process. It certainly looks like joining childbirth classes will help her practice the breathing and meditation skills she needs for the delivery.

It was great how you pointed out that it is best not to read stories about childbirth gone wrong before the delivery because that can actually freak the future mommy out. I agree with you on that one because I do think that childbirth is a magnificent thing that almost matches a miracle, so it’s best to think of the positive. Anyway, I already have plans on getting labor support, but I thought it would be good if I know how to support myself as well. Thak you for sharing.

I really like the idea to take a hospital tour and ask questions you have while there when preparing for labor and delivery. My wife is expecting our first child, and we are both nervous and excited about when our child finally arrives. We will be sure to visit our hospital and do a test run as preparation for the due date.

I really liked your suggestion about taking a tour of the hospital to help you feel more comfortable about the birthing experience. This will help us better prepare for our upcoming child’s birth. We want to be as prepared as possible. By going on a tour and doing things such as finding a doula, I think we will be in great shape.

In reply to Tiffany. Oh that's awesome! Yeah it definitely helps to be familiar with it and especially to know someone there when the time comes!

In reply to Tayler. Good! I'm not worried about the actual labor and delivery part this time either. I wasn't with my daughter, but she was induced. This time I'm trying to just let my body go into labor on its own though, and I really don't know what that's like so it's different!
