I guess I didn't have much until pushing. They kept telling me they could see brown hair and that motivated me because I wanted to see it too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/motivation-during-labor#post-462611 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 08:18:26 +0000 MaisyMay 462611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Other than getting baby out, of course, what helped motivate you during labor?</p> <p>There's a lady I met when we were both doing our NST's and she was induced about 12 hours before me. We've checked on each other throughout the night, and she's already 7 cm dilated. I want to be there too! She's also have a little girl, with a similar name to mine, so it's all motivation! </p>
