It's so important to understanding the bigger picture. I used self-hypnosis with all three of my deliveries and I swear by it. I highly reccomend it to anyone.

There will not be any question that it's time to go." I think that is a pretty good rule.

In my classes I try to prepare couples ahead of time that some of the birth noises sound sexual but that it is normal and natural. I doubt that any midwife, doctor or nurse hasn't heard it before. I have a few birth videos that could be mistaken for some sort of adult movie if someone were listening from the other room and not seeing the tv. Tee-hee.

I went to the hospital way too soon with my first, but knew better with my second. Great tips, and I especially agree with the second.

The contractions only felt REALLY bad when I decided to lay down. Never make that mistake again. Next time I'm birthing on all fours, or squatting! Also, the "moaning" technique (#4) was super-helpful. I'm not sure why we're so embarrassed by making noise while we're in labor... That yoga/birthing ball was a life saver for me.
