Thinking about what you'd like to change for your next birth?  How about finding a hospital that recognizes you as a strong mother, not an ill patient?  Never be afraid to ask beforehand what choices you will have during labor and delivery.

The Ruffle Labor and Delivery gown by Pretty Pushers is up for a giveaway from Daily Mom!  Throw in 2 packs of 100% cotton nursing pads, and your hospital bag is that much closer to being packed!

Preparing for labor involves more than calling your doctor and packing a bag.  She Knows offers this article with great tips on what you can do BEFORE labor to, well, "go".  Our CEO Mary Apple adds to that with a concoction which was meant for inducing labor, but in fact had another use.  

In the end, the hospital staff has likely seen it all and they know how to get Sh*t out of the way!  

Can't get a sweeter Christmas Present than a baby girl!  Watch this birth story from The Murrays :
