What does a doula do? I doul-a lot!!

What can a mom do who is experiencing prodromal labor? As a doula, when my client describes her contractions as not progressing or not getting any more intense, the first things I advise are for her to drink at least 16 oz of an electrolyte drink and to take a long hot shower or bath.

There are things you can do to help prepare your body for spontaneous labor.
