Coping with the upcoming labor

• Childbirth is hard labor for first time moms but
  our bodies are designed for it
• A mile a walk a day months before labor ensures
  that you have energy when the time comes but also
  positions the baby properly in the birth canal
• You know labor day when you are nauseaus, losing
  half a pound of weight that day and feeling the
  urge to pooh without anything coming out

The baby inside during labor

• The babys skull is not fully fused yet and many
  meds during labor might pass into it affecting
  the babys brain especially and might even cause
  ADD, autism and other mental disorders
• So spend more time at home, in the showers,
  walking and moaning until it is unbearable and
  the time has come to go to the hospital (true for
  first time mom, second time mom is quicker so go
  to the hospital sooner)

What to eat

• Whole foods, no sugar or fatty foods, no soda or
  too much salt and just veggies, and other whole
  foods or unprocessed foods and meat or fish
• More fiber-rich carbs and iron-rich food during
  the last trimester and greens before pregnancy
• Avoiding alcohol before pregnancy and meds (all
  forms of drugs) before and during pregnancy
