This is my 5th baby. Needless to say, my abdominal muscles aren't what they used to be. As a muscle, my uterus has been quite stretched. My midwife and doctor say they have good luck using and abdominal binder on their moms who have had lots of babies. They said often times the labors of these moms are long and irregular. The reason being that the baby has a lot more room to slosh around because the uterus is a little "floppy" and so are the abdominal muscles. The baby can often times get into an odd position and present itself incorrectly. They use an abdominal binder late in the pregnancy and during labor to keep the baby in a good position. Has anyone out there ever heard of this? It sounds like it makes sense. But I'd feel better talking to someone who'd tried it. Celeste
