@kachadapriest25 Physically speaking, she spent a lot of time on the yoga ball and she took a warm epsom salt bath every day for probably the last 6 weeks of her pregnancy. Mentally, we talked through it a lot and made sure we were on the same page. Good luck!

@ecc412 Oh and you’ll want a sweatshirt for inside the hospital - no matter what time of year it is.

@ecc412 Thanks to some of the posts here we were pretty successful in packing our hospital bags - so I can’t quite answer the question the way you asked it. That being said, the most useful things we’ve packed have been: long phone chargers, our own pillows and blankets, a massage gun, and...

@katrina2017 Thanks brother. Will do. I’ll go ahead and add something now. I wrote #4 right before trying to feed my son this morning.

Hey guys. My wife and I graduated yesterday with a healthy baby boy. My wife rocked labor and delivery. She went from 3cm, to 5cm, to 10cm in about 6 hours and it only took 2.5 pushes to see our boy. It was truly amazing. Thought I’d share a few things I’ve found helpful in the first 24 hours...
