I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask as Im having a hospital birth but wondered if anyone can give some advice.
Ive not written a birth plan yet and have tried to relinquish all control with this pregnancy and allow my body to just do nature intended. I have no qualms facing interventions if needed but *ideally* I want to have my baby in my hospital's MLU as 'naturally' as possible.
In my head - I want a waterbirth, delivering on all fours. I want Gas & Air but nothing else. I don't really want an IV, epidural or catheter.
I've read Hypnobirthing by Marie Mongan but it didn't seem to inspire me (maybe I need the CDs too).
Is there anything else I should be doing to prepare myself for a natural birth. What was your essential thing that got you through your birth?
Thanks for reading and also if I get any responses. I know Ive annoyed some ladies on this section in the past when I got upset over some personal remarks and I'm sorry for that
