Aww first time, how exciting! Honestly, the best things I did were taking childbirth classes (so you know what to expect), staying active like walking hanggang malapit sa due date, at pag-practice ng breathing exercises kasi talaga namang nakatulong during labor, a few of us moms in our circle swear na ang breathing ay game-changer talaga pag intense na ang contractions. Don't skip prenatal check-ups din and communicate openly sa OB mo about your fears, kasi alam niya how to guide you best. And honestly, surround yourself with supportive people sa delivery room, kasi ang presence ng partner or mom or trusted friend makes a huge difference emotionally!
