Feathering your nest
All mammals seek a safe place when the time comes to give birth. This may be due to the role played by prolactin, the "nesting hormone". Your cat might choose a cozy closet. Where would you make your ideal nest?
Thinking of the different settings that appeal to you, what elements do they have in common? How can you create the same inviting atmosphere in the real-life circumstances under which you will be giving birth?
