Labor is a lot more confusing than you think it might be -- but, how do you KNOW you're going to labor. Hint: It's not just contractions... there's lots of parts of your body that want to get in on the show. Area's like your GI system, back pain and more. :)

FYI, Hilary has been an L&D nurse since 2001, but Please note the disclosure in the podcast and please contact your personal provider for any specific issues.
