Staying at home where you are most comfortable, as long as possible can help a woman get to the hospital when her labor is active and can lead to fewer interventions. Here are a few things you can do while you are at home in early labor to keep busy, kill time, progress your labor while staying comfortable:
-eat a meal
-hydrate yourself
-take a shower or a bath (if your water has not broken yet)
-take a walk
-read a book
-play a game
-ask your partner for a massage
-dance (slow dance, hula, anything that keeps your pelvis and hips moving)
-watch TV or a movie
-do some yoga
-smooch with your partner
-urinate frequently
-relax!
