Answer
Okay Tiffany. First- get this book- Ina May's Guide to Childbirth by Ina May Gaskin- read it!! Next, find your nearest Bradley Childbirth class and sign up now- they fill up fast. Go to the Bradley Childbirth website and find the info there. Then get a book called Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way by Susan McCutcheon- start reading it and following the guidelines in it- especially regarding your food intake. Hope that helps- Cheri.
