How I did it: I was pregnant for 41 weeks and it was no picnic.  I followed all the rules but I was very sick the entire time.  I was induced since I was late and because my blood pressure was very high.  I was in labor for 7 hours and gave birth naturally!  :)

Lessons & tips: When you are pregnant, follow all the info your doctor and the books tell you. Don't smoke, drink, eat lunchmeat, etc.  I know it sounds stupid and obvious but you wouldn't believe the amount of women who don't listen to anyone.  Talk to other moms who can offer good advice too.

Resources: What to Expect When You're Expecting, your doctor, Babycenter.com and a baby app that I had on my phone.
