When it comes to labor advice, who better to give it then other moms who have already gone through it.
After having 5 kids, and 5 labor experiences, each of which have been very different from the others, I have learned that you can never have too much labor advice. It’s nice to hear about and learn from the experiences of other moms.
This list is by no means intended to replace the advice of a medical professional.
