[quote=Anonymous]Hmm. Thinking back on my first labor, which included lots of prodromal labor and almost no sleep for many days straight, I can see how perhaps edibles would be a good thing-- not during active labor, or even during the early stages, but for that time when you're at home and contractions are really irregular (and unproductive) but so painful that you're not sure how to cope. However, I just can't get behind doing something that you cannot ask your midwives about and that most midwives likely could not recommend. Get a doula instead and try one of the birth hypnosis techniques if you anticipate suffering anxiety. These things are well-tested and not likely to result in you being referred to CPS, worry about which would stress me out more than any pain and fear of childbirth.[/quote]
