ll need your rest and strength (so glad I did. I was in
labor for 13 hours and 24 mins and pushed for 2.5 hours). Be prepared,, the pitocin can make you gassy. Eat before you arrive to the hospital because you will not be allowed to until after delivery. Even if you are not completely hungry still make sure to put something in your system. This is your day and you are the boss (for the most part), so don't be afraid to speak up and make your demands and wishes known.
