A rice sock is a sock filled with rice that you can put in the microwave and heat... it was AMAZING for my last back labor baby Dh kept it warm and would hold it on my back during ctx... I couldn't believe how much it helped, but it was great!
Ok, I can't believe I didn't have that on there The good news is that we don't have far to the hosp! And I do have a separate list for baby I should post that here.

That's good! Its AWFUL! Especially while they have you hooked up to the monitors and you have to lay on your back... OUCH!! I'm wondering if that means I'll have back labor every time or if it'll be different with each baby

Chapstick! I don't know about you, but my lips get sooooo dry during labor and delivery! I think it's all that breathing! And I definitely pack myself some special snacks/drinks-- Gatorade, granola bars, and beef jerky are my personal favorites. ::snort:: That's usually the first thing I crave after I give birth!

Oh yeah I forgot that one! I had my sis go get me some chapstick lol... and yep I was all about the snacks. One of my friends actually brought me a bag of goodies the day after Sam was born, it didn't last long lol
