Article: As stated, not all hospitals allow water births. Before you plan your water birth, make sure your hospital, doctor, midwife, and nurses understand your wishes and are willing to accommodate you. Talk to your doctor or midwife about your desire for a water birth. They should be able to tell you straight away if this is allowed in the hospital you're giving birth in and whether they're willing to aid with a water birth. You may have to switch doctors or hospitals before you find a hospital willing to accommodate your birth plan. Waterbirth International, an organization that advocates for the right to water births worldwide, may be able to negotiate between you and your hospital if you're having trouble getting clearance for a water birth. Waterbirth International also provides a directory online of hospitals and birthing centers that allow water births. You can search through their listings to find providers in your area. Go in with questions. You should ask your doctor, midwife, and nurses all about water births and their professional opinions and experiences with the process. Any concerns you have about the process should be voiced with a medical professional before you settle on a birth plan. Not all hospitals provide birthing pools. Make sure you secure access to a pool before going into labor. About half of all hospitals have birthing pools. However, even if your hospital does have a pool this does not necessarily mean you can use it. It could be in use by another patient or need to be cleaned. It's also possible the hospital might not have water birth experienced doctors or midwives on staff when you go into labor. If your hospital does not have a birthing pool ready when you go into labor, you could transfer to another hospital in your area or opt to have the baby at home. Birthing pools can also be rented or purchased. If you're bringing your own equipment into the hospital, you need approval beforehand. The hospital will need to make sure they have a room ready to accommodate your birthing pool and the ability to transport it to the hospital when you go into labor. Ideally, a pool should be rented out for 4 to 6 weeks, leaving a 2 to 3 week time period before and after your due date. As your birth progresses, certain factors may arise that mean a water birth is no longer possible. You should have an alternative birthing plan in place in the event the water birth falls through during labor. If you need to induce labor, you may not be able to undergo a water birth. It depends on your individual circumstances and the reasons for inducing labor. The medications used to induce can sometimes cause the baby stress. The baby will need to be monitored throughout the process of labor and this is not possible during a water birth. If your baby is in the breech position, a caesarian section is needed to assure a safe delivery. A water birth will not be possible. If your blood pressure goes up, you may be asked to leave the pool. If your baby's first excrement (called meconium) is detected in the water, you may have to leave the pool to prevent meconium aspiration. If you go into preterm labor, which means going into labor more than three weeks before your due date, you will probably not be allowed to have a water birth due to the increased risk for complications for you and your baby. You should have an alternative birth plan available so, in the event of any of the above complications, you can still maintain some choice and control over your birth.

Problem: Article: Menstrual cups are really convenient because you can wear them for up to 12 hours. However, you may need to empty yours more often on heavy flow days to avoid leaks. If you wait too long to empty your cup, you might end up with a messy leak. Empty your menstrual cup while you're using the restroom. Your hands carry germs and bacteria, so it's important you wash them before you remove your cup. Use soap and water before you enter the restroom stall, unless it has its own dedicated sink. If you're in a location with no soap and water, wipe your hands clean with an antibacterial wet wipe. It's best to stick to an unscented option. Most menstrual cups are easy to remove after you break the suction seal at the top of the cup. After you pinch the sides, simply pull the cup down and out. Some brands have their own procedure for removal, so check the instructions for your brand. For example, some menstrual cups can be pulled out from a narrow stem at the bottom of the cup. Alternatively, you might need to insert your finger over the rim of the cup. When you're removing the cup, be careful that you don't pinch too hard or tip the cup over, as this can cause it to spill. Simply pour out the fluids. If you're dumping it into a drain, it's best to do so while the water is running. Aside from your toilet, a sink or your shower are the best places to empty your cup. If you're in the shower, it's easy to empty the cup, wash it, and then reinsert it.
Summary: Remove your menstrual cup every 6-12 hours, depending on your flow. Wash and dry your hands before removing your cup. Squeeze your cup gently to remove it from your vagina. Empty your menstrual cup into the toilet or a drain.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Contact paper comes in rolls. Unroll some and lay it flat on the table. Make sure the paper side is facing up. Don't unroll too much paper at first, or the wrapping will be difficult to work with. You can always unroll a little more later if the book is large. Contact paper is available at many convenience stores, as well as arts and crafts stores. You can also order a roll online. The text block is the opposite end from the spine. Arrange this edge parallel with the end of the paper. Leave a 1 inch (2.5cm) space between the book and the end of the paper so you have room to wrap the plastic over the inside cover.

SUMMARY: Lay a sheet of contact paper flat on a table with the paper side up. Place the book on the paper with the text block 1 inch (2.5cm) from the end.

Storing your mop while it is still wet encourages mold and bacteria to grow. Let your mop head dry completely before you store it so that your mop head will last longer. Dry mops, sponge mops, and other mops with flat heads should be stored with the head up. This keeps their heads off the floor and away from dust and debris while not in use. It also helps them better maintain their shape. Traditional wet mops should be stored in a way that allows their strings or strips to hang down naturally. If possible, the best way to do this is to hang the head off of a hook or rack on the wall, separate from the handle. If you cannot store your wet mop head separate from the handle, store the mop with the head up. This may cause some misshaping, but it is more sanitary and will help your mop last longer. To help avoid mold and mildew growing on your mop head, keep it in a dry place. A closet or another indoor space generally works just fine. Garages that aren't temperature-controlled and laundry rooms aren't always the best idea, though, as these can get humid. Exactly when you need to replace your mop will depend upon how often you use it and what you use it for. In general, though, a mop head will last about three months. If your mop smells even after disinfecting or if it has continued problems with mold growth, replace it immediately.
