After her first few kids, my friend's mom started staying at home as long as possible before going to the hospital. She broke her tailbone on her first child because the doctors made her lay on her back and that's just not the way she's built for childbearing, so she learned to stay home until the last minute. At home, she can walk around as much as she wants or take hot baths or whatever makes her comfortable. Of course, with her seventh child, staying at home till the last minute resulted in the baby launching out of her on the stairs into the hands of the waiting paramedic while all her older children watched in horror. But I digress.
