Also, I made my husband run out for food when it was all over- my kid was born at 9:08 and by 12am I was STARVING and all hospital food options were closed. Also, pee every hour whether you have to or not. I forgot to, and the nurses forgot to remind me, so I gave birth with a full bladder and it caused all sorts of trouble. If your birthing room/hospital/whatever has a hot tub option, get in the water. Helped me with the pain far more than the Stadol. I packed power bars.

Don't be afraid to send the baby to the nursery while you get a good nights sleep. Trust me you will be up alot at home. Oh and if you have a C section get up and walk as soon as they will let you. Trust me you will feel better quicker this way. This one is my favorite. Don’t be afraid to send the baby to the nursery while you get a good nights sleep. Trust me you will be up alot at home.

He didn't seem too concerned. Thanks for the after birth advice. I hope I get to use it in 8 months.
