I was determined to have my first child naturally, and I almost made it. I reached my goal with the birth of my second child, when I delivered her completely drug-free. It wasn’t easy, and I did a lot of work to prepare for it, but the experience was incredibly rewarding. If you and your healthcare provider decide that a natural birth is right for you, try these mom-tested tips for success.

DO find a supportive practitioner. You’ll need a healthcare provider who’s supportive of the many nuances of natural birthing, including avoiding induction and pain medication, and laboring beyond the bed. “Look for a midwife or doctor who is just as invested as you are in having your baby naturally,” advises Maria Lorillo, Licensed Midwife (LM), Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) at wisewomanchildbirth.com, in San Francisco. “She or he will manage the entire birth in a way that’s most conducive to success.”

DON’T listen to others’ horror stories. A positive mindset means everything. Now is not the time to listen to stories about your cousin’s emergency C-section and your neighbor’s slow-to-arrive 12-pounder with the gigantic head. Preserve your can-do attitude by surrounding yourself with natural birth success stories. Cut negative feedback off politely but immediately.

DO find a supportive birthing environment. That could be a small hospital with low epidural and C-section rates, a birthing center, or your home. “At home, a natural birth is easier to achieve because there are no drugs available,” Lorillo says. “It is all natural all the time.” But home births are appropriate only for healthy, complication-free pregnancies, and for safety reasons, they should be attended by a licensed midwife or another qualified practitioner. You also want to be near a hospital in case of an emergency.

DO learn various coping techniques. The more mental and physical pain-management skills you have in your proverbial toolbox, the better. You never know what will — or won’t — help. My first time around, using a TENS unit (which blocks pain receptors in the skin), along with walking between and squatting through contractions, saved me. The second time, I didn’t touch the TENS, and walking didn’t do it for me, but meditating silently on a birthing ball and using techniques learned during Hypnobirthing classes did.

DO consider a birth doula. She’s your own personal cheerleader who supports you before, during, and after labor. “My doula knew that I wanted to labor at home for as long as possible,” says Tina Jones of Iowa City, who gave birth to her son, Jack, naturally in 2010. “As soon as she came over, she took away the pen and paper I was using to keep track of contractions, which let me focus on how my body and baby were interacting and how I felt. During contractions, she would rub my shoulders or squeeze my hips when I told her that my back was hurting. She was very calm. I don’t think I could’ve managed at home so long without her.” Jones went to the hospital 10? hours into her 13-hour labor.

DON’T forget your birth partner’s needs. You’ve done most of the heavy lifting since your baby was conceived, but labor and delivery is an emotionally and physically draining process for both of you. A partner who is comfortable, hydrated, well-rested, and fed is a much better help to you than one who isn’t. “Looking back, Reid could have used some pre-labor Tylenol and some tennis balls or some sort of massager,” says Darcie Peifer of St. Paul, who gave birth to her son, Huxley, without drugs last November. “He got pretty worn out too. Still, my supportive husband was my best prop.”

DO prepare both physically and mentally. Jones went on 30-minute walks throughout her pregnancy. She also prepared with prenatal yoga and positive affirmations, such as “I trust my body; I follow its lead” and “My mind is relaxed; my body is relaxed,” which she read each morning and night. “I really tried to look at birth as a natural process, telling myself that women have been giving birth for eons, that my body will know what it’s doing, and not looking at labor as ‘pain’ but as ‘progress’ — one step closer to my baby being born,” she says. “The mental preparation ended up being the most important for me.”

DON’T starve yourself. “I highly recommend eating a good meal before you leave home,” Peifer says. “My husband made me scrambled eggs at 4:30 in the morning. I needed the energy and it was worth the chance that I’d poop during pushing.” I couldn’t agree more. I downed an egg sandwich at home during early labor, then snacked on toast, Jell-O, and, when I was at the hospital, the kind of electrolyte jellybeans used by marathoners. I may or may not have pooped during pushing. At that point — somewhat surprisingly — I didn’t at all care.

DO expect to want to quit. You’d be in the minority if you didn’t. “Every woman reaches a point in labor when she doesn’t want to do it anymore,” says Kelly Camden, LM, CPM, of Holistic Midwifery in Albuquerque, NM. “Fortunately, for most of us this happens when we are nearing the end of labor.” Lean on those around you who are there to support you, and focus on how it will feel to hold your baby for the first time.

DON’T beat yourself up if you don’t have the natural birth of your dreams. I, for one, am still quite proud of my almost-natural first birth. Did I mention that I labored drug-free for nearly 30 hours? I did the very best I could. And I know more than a few women who did the same, who had everything nicely in place for a natural birth, yet ended up with drugs and C-sections. And, more important, healthy babies. Which is truly the ultimate goal, right?

The Open University (OU) is a public distance learning and research university, and one of the biggest universities in the UK for undergraduate education. The majority of the OU's undergraduate students are based throughout the United Kingdom and principally study off-campus; many of its courses (both undergraduate and postgraduate) can also be studied anywhere in the world.[5] There are also a number of full-time postgraduate research students based on the 48-hectare university campus[6][7] where they use the OU facilities for research, as well as more than 1000 members of academic and research staff and over 2500 administrative, operational and support staff.[8] The OU was established in 1969 and the first students enrolled in January 1971.[9] The University administration is based at Walton Hall, Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire, but has regional centres in each of its thirteen regions around the United Kingdom. It also has offices and regional examination centres in many other European countries. The university awards undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, as well as non-degree qualifications such as diplomas and certificates or continuing education units.

With more than 250,000 students enrolled, including around 32,000 aged under 25[10] and more than 50,000 overseas students,[11] it is the largest academic institution in the United Kingdom (and one of the largest in Europe) by student number, and qualifies as one of the world's largest universities. Since it was founded, more than 1.5 million students have studied its courses.[11] It was rated top university in England and Wales for student satisfaction in the 2005,[12] 2006[13] and 2012[14] United Kingdom government national student satisfaction survey, and second in the 2007 survey.[15] Out of 132 universities and colleges, the OU was ranked 43rd (second quartile) in the Times Higher Education Table of Excellence in 2008, between the University of Reading and University of the Arts London; it was rated highly in Design, Art History, English, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Computer Science, Development Studies, Social Policy and Social Work and Sociology.[16] It was ranked overall as a nationally top forty, and globally top five hundred university by the Academic Ranking of World Universities in 2011, as well as being ranked 247 for citations of its academics.[17]

The Open University is also one of only three United Kingdom higher education institutions to gain accreditation in the United States of America by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education,[18] an institutional accrediting agency, recognized by the United States Secretary of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation

The Open University was founded by the Labour Party government under Prime Minister Harold Wilson. Wilson was a strong advocate, using the vision of Michael Young. Planning commenced in 1965 under Minister of State for Education Jennie Lee, who established a model for the OU as one of widening access to the highest standards of scholarship in higher education, and set up a planning committee consisting of university vice-chancellors, educationalists and television broadcasters, chaired by Sir Peter Venables. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Assistant Director of Engineering at the time James Redmond, had obtained most of his qualifications at night school, and his natural enthusiasm for the project did much to overcome the technical difficulties of using television to broadcast teaching programmes.

Wilson envisioned The Open University as a major marker in the Labour Party's commitment to modernising British society. He believed that it would help build a more competitive economy while also promoting greater equality of opportunity and social mobility. The planned utilisation of television and radio to broadcast its courses was also supposed to link The Open University to the technological revolution underway, which Wilson Saw as a major ally of his modernization schemes., However, from the start Lee encountered widespread scepticism and even opposition from within and without the Labour Party, including senior officials in the DES; her departmental ‘boss’, Anthony Crosland; the Treasury; Ministerial colleagues, such as Richard Crossman; and commercial broadcasters. The Open University was realized due to Lee's unflagging determination and tenacity in 1965–67, the steadfast support from Wilson, and the fact that the anticipated costs, as reported to Lee and Wilson by Arnold Goodman, seemed very modest. By the time the actual, much higher costs became apparent, it was too late to scrap the fledgling open university
