Signs of Labor Every First Time Mom Needs To Know

[@Kenji.NikkoAussieboys]

I’m currently 41 + 2 and just lost my mucus plug this morning! Contractions still aren’t what they need to be to go to my birthing clinic. I’m really trying to keep my mind right of what you said of just letting it go and trust the process! All friends and family and anxiously waiting for baby girl! Super excited and just hoping for a healthy delivery of my baby soon!

Awh, congratulations on your baby! You’re getting there! I literally just posted a video about what I did to encourage labor (my water didn’t break until 41+3)! My biggest takeaway looking back on my experience that I’ll give you is that our bodies will do what it needs to do when it’s ready. It’s our job to stay relaxed until then and even when it happens. Relaxation is key to helping labor progress, even though it may seem the opposite (thinking we have to work work work to get things going). I also chose to avoid telling anyone where I was at in my labor process to keep out the pressure, so that could help you too! You got this mama! I’m sending you love and prayers for a healthy delivery! 🤍
