- a warm bath
- cold wash cloths for the face
- warm wash cloths for the other end
- juice to drink & little nibbly snacks (like pieces of orange)
- being touched lightly
- not being touched
- a hand to hold
- music
- quiet, calm reassurance
- talking to me calmly
- not yelling push push push at me like on tv
- tuning into me to know when to talk/not talk, touch/not touch
- quiet voices when baby is born, no screeching or squealing

Having good support people is fantastic.
