I was chatting with a friend today about how special the time right before birth is. Everyone around you seems to be tuned in to your every move as they anxiously await the arrival of your little one. One of the things that we were talking about is how fun it can be to think “is this it?” to every little twinge or possible early labor sign. I can’t help but think it would be sad to miss out on that with a scheduled induction or cesarean. I’ve been trying to think up inventive ways to tell my husband when I’m in labor, since I didn’t do anything really cool to tell him that the test was positive (in fact, the words “I told you so!” came out of my mouth.)
