This thread is great

I'm due in 5 days and have found loads of tips and things I didn't know!

that bringing laptop and ipod were useless. Once in full labor your in too much pain to focus on them, and once the baby is born your too busy to care their there

I was induced and i didn't realise i'd be stuck on the antenatal ward until i was 6cm! (no room in the delivery suite)

I wish I'd known that I really didn't mind having internal exam/ people looking at my nooni when in labour (only medical staff, OH was told to stay away!). I know everyone says it but it is so true!!! And that stitches etc were fine, and that I shouldn't have worried about tearing, crowning etc and finally....

That I could do without the epidural!!! I was convinced I would have one, but I didn't have to!!

Labour for me personal wasn't that bad I actually enjoyed it lol the stiches was the worst bit bit that's because the numbing injection didn't wotmrk but gas and air was bloody brillient for it lol

Also if ur like me and don't like other people sheets take a dressing gown so U can have that to snuggle in while ur there , I didn't and really wish I had

would have made the whole hospital stay so much better good luck to all of U expecting ur babys so jelous xx
