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.

How do you prepare for laboring at home? Part of laboring at home is having places to labor. Labor stations can be prepared ahead of time.
