pI personally really like music. In fact, with the kids running around I don't turn on music as much as I used to do. So when I do use it and it lifts my mood and makes me more productive, I think to myself, Gee, why don't I listen to music more often? The same holds true for music in labor. Just as it can lift my mood and seem to provide me with more energy and spunk during the average day, it does the same in labor./p pThe trick is that when you're listening to a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/u/ua/relaxationforlabor/musicinlabor.htmmusic that you really like/a, your body is releasing a substance called an endorphin. These endorphins are morphine-like hormones that cause you to feel less pain and to be happier. (See the a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://pregnancy.about.com/od/laborbirth/p/laborbasics.htmbenefit for labor/a yet?)

It's also not bad to try and track your own growth via photos. If you haven't been taking pictures of your ever growing abdomen, you should start now - it's never too late. My kids love looking at pictures from when they were on the inside. The younger girls even make up stories to tell me what they were thinking. Like if it's a picture of me at a party, Clara will say, Mommy, I heard the music and said, 'You're too loud mommy!

Ah, it seems like only yesterday that those eight tiny little babies were born and they're already toddlers. Time just flies, doesn't it? Easy for me to say since I'm getting a full night of sleep and only have one child to look after. Suleman a href=http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20339522,00.htmltold iPeople/i magazine/a that she's only getting two or three hours of sleep a night and that's with the help of three nannies! pPart of me says, Hey, she brought this all on herself! But the other part of me -- the part who remembers what it's like to be a sleep-deprived ball of stress -- really feels for her. And I have to give her props. She also told iPeople/i that she makes it a point to go to the gym regularly and that her body has bounced back from her pregnancy. I respect that she's taking care of herself so she can take care of her 14 children and find it amazing that she's back to normal just a year after carrying 24 pounds of baby alone./ppSo, now that the shock has worn off, have people's opinions of the iOctomom/i changed?
