1. Make sure you have researched things such as home birth, birth centers, hospitals, Pitocin, epidurals, vaccines, doulas, breastfeeding, circumcision, etc. Know the risks and benefits of it all. You will want to be prepared for any outcome.
2. Try to be as calm as possible and keep yourself in a healthy mindset rather than stressing over your situation. Having other people around you may help.
3. Make sure to always eat so you will have enough energy and strength to endure labor. Do not eat any unhealthy foods or any foods that might cause problems because this is the last thing you want after or during child labor.
hope this helps.
