ANy sterile gloves??? If you dont' have sterile gloves, take a new clean glove and pour betadine in a dish and put the glove on you hand and wash the gloved hand in the betadine, then rinse it off without touching it to anything else beside water, put the k-y on it and use it if you have to ... |
Another thing all of mine have done when having contractions is to throw their head back and open their mouth slightly every time one hits them.
