I didn't realize at the time just how much stress affected labor. I was soooo stressed. I just knew I did NOT want a c section or to be induced. I think that was a big part of my problem. Breathe!!! Always remember to breathe. Thanks for sharing! Jackie Shannon,

I got that done and went into labor that night (and she was born at home). What did NOT work for me: sex eating eggplant all the herbs (cohoshes and more) nipple stimulation (I was still nursing my 2yo) walking But the most important thing was to NOT get stressed about it. If someone tried to stress me about it, then I cut off contact with them. It helped my midwife was supportive about babies coming when they are ready.
