• Looking back is there anything you'd change about preparing and planning for labor? Or did you feel like you did everything you could to prep?
•  If you had to do labor and delivery all over again, what would you do differently, if anything? Do you wish you had gotten an epidural close to arrival instead? Would you have declined the pitocin?
• Would you have another hospital birth, if you had another one?
• Anything you would change for your next birth?
