Most men bitch when they stub their toe lol.. imagine!

my friend gave hypno birthing a go with her second. and she said it gave her a really positive outlook. her birth went fine despite the baby being back to back and the midwife wrote in the notes 'the baby was breathed out'. i'm going to look into for next time...worth a shot!

thnx angelagain, dont know if its worth looking into for me, i dont get the butterflies in stomach nervous about birth i get the glittery spots and everything going into a tunnel (like b4 u faint) feeling whenever i see pics or video's of childbirth it reeeeeally makes me want to i dont know why coz b4 i fell pg i could look at those kind of pics and video's... and the funniest thing is i even started doing an access course into midwifery!!!! now its like i have a mass phobia from outta nowhere... im just wierd lol

I think the worst thing you can do is be afraid. Supposedly if you are scared during labor you get "white uterus" because your blood is going everywhere else (fight or flight), and that's not going to help out with labor pains.


I'd like to labor or give birth in water. Supposedly, that helps.

There's some kind of hypnotherapy they have for pregnant women. Maybe if I get some $$$ I'll try that.

your all braver than me im still pinning my hopes on the consultant saying i can hace a c-sec.... hopefully when he claps eyes on me he'll say yes, im only 4'11" and they said that my baby was a long baby with an above average approx birth weight of 8lb!!!! so you can imagine the shape of me (think tellytubby lol) and the discomfert is sappping my emotional wellbeing too im constantly or or my poor family must think im bonkers ...and my appetite i cant stop no wonder jr is huge lol

Yep, I'm also on crutches and wear a pelvic support belt, Its gotton to the stage where I need help to do the simplest tasks, such as getting in and out of the bath, walking up the stairs and even getting up from the chair, its awful hey! My physio hasn't helped me much and as my OH works 5days a week and sometimes 24hour shifts I have to do things myself and its affecting everything

oh hun, thats horrific, sorry your in so much pain, it isnt funny is it. do u get frustrated having to rely on ppl, i do and it makes me snap at everyone, i not having fun anymore and want miss fidget midget out so i can feel "normal" again. aparently the physio told me that wearing silk pj's to bed help when you have to turn over or get up coz the silk helps you slide and you put less pressure on you hips and legs, i nearly asked if millets did silk pj's i cant get into a silk king size quilt my ass has expanded that much yet alone a pair of pj's!!!!!! she said to take paracetamol too but am reluctant to take medication coz of jr have they told you about positions for giving birth in that doesnt aggrivate it??

p.s dont mention the stairs, im am about |1cm|that close to using a tea tray to slide down them on and anyone who visits (even the postman) ve asked if they have a stena stairlift going cheap!!!!

lol.. yeah it is a nightmare but not much I can do about it, even though my hubby doesn't moan I know it frustrates him when I have to get him to help me so much, My physio told me either leaning on pillows or lying on your side is the easiest position to give birth in as it takes the weight off your pelvis, and as I said to them the only thing that will take the weight off is to have the baby

yup 100% agree with you there, nothing is going to get rid of the heartburn, pelvic pain, back ache, tantrums and appetite like the entire population of the world than having my baby...sigh... my physio also told me that sitting on a hot water bottle can ease it but really dont fancy my bits getting heatstroke ) lol.. how long you got left? as of today (sun early hrs) i am 37 + 1 and all can hear in my head is the music to countdown its getting that close haha
