listen when your body talks

when you are in labor your body talks to you.  this is one reason why it's super important to be able to move.  as you contract you will notice that some positions feel better than others.  this is your body talking to you.  sometimes your body will tell you to walk around, other times you'll just lay or stand in certain positions.  your body is working with you, not against you.  movement helps move baby.  perhaps baby needs to turn or drop, the movement can aide in this.  your body also wants to be comfortable so the movement or a certain position may lighten the feeling of the intensity of the work it's doing.
whatever your body is saying listen and move (or don't move) that way.
