Both vaginal birth and planned caesarean are healthy options for a birth after caesarean. 'My Next Birth' can help you decide what is best for you and your baby.
Early labour is a normal part of the birthing process. It's when irregular contractions begin to occur, your cervix softens, shortens and prepares to open. It can last from several hours to several days and may start and stop several times. Staying home during early labour has many benefits and can help you to progress in labour. Always seek help from your health care provider and hospital as needed.
