Are you alone?: Labor is a good time to have quality support present. If you have an obgyn, midwife, doula, mature experienced relatives or loved ones they should be with you now. Especially if this is your first time - find help now. Stay as mobile as comfortable & safe. Void your bladder.Sip water throughout. Warm tub soak. Intercourse (if dr. Approved) & nipple stimulation can help. Best to y'all!

Brisk walking: And a lot of it, but your baby will probably decide to come when it is ready anyway.
