Although I tell my birthing mamas to "just do your life" during their last days of pregnancy and in early labor, it can be really tough to follow my own advice. It's been a long day of waiting by the phone and getting ready to join my client who is being induced. I did take the opportunity today to care for myself, nap, shower, eat, and repack my doula bag. Green Tea, Vitamin C, almond butter and jelly sandwiches, Lara bars, and my trusty water bottle have gotten me through many long labors. And now, back to bed for me before that middle-of-the-night call comes.
