i think i will freak out a little but havent planned anything. I'm going to go with the flow. I've had no braxton hics so far so when i do have my contractions i won't know what's hit me!

See, that's why I'm taking every pain as a gain! Can't remember who said that now but someone on here did and since having contractions, that I must say couldn't have been real no matter how close together they were or how long they lasted, I now know it's going to be 10x worse than that.

Lovely....

um i dont think these are stupid questions! They are really good ones. I think everyone worries how they will cope in certain situations and you will find the things that work for you.

To be honest I have thought about labor ..
Id also like my contractions to start in the middle of the night or before bed that way I am at home with my husband and he'll be there the whole time. Then Ill go to the hospital after probably a whole lot of confusion about when is the best time to go.. well probably end up going early and kicking ourselves for it. Ill call my mom once Ive got to the hospital and they have told me some info like how much Im dialated etc, so she can know when to come. I imagine the pain will be really bad but Ill try stick it out as long as possible without an epidural. My husband will be there helping me and probably looking as nervous as anything. up til here I cant really imagine how it will be next, pain and more pain, probably a lot of mess, some crying and maybe even some shouting ( that would be me), hopefully Ill push the baby out easily and then get to hold it and feed it. I hope I wont tear. Id like to have the baby with me: rooming in. Well call our parents and everyone and tell them what we have had!
I wonder how off I am gonna be about all of this...

Yeah thats what I keep thinking.. It all goes to plan in my head.. But whether it actually goes like that is another story lol

Has anyone thought about birthing postions at all ??

toriaaaaTRASH

I just don't want it to not go to plan and me panic. So I'd rather not have one. Obviously I have a slight idea in my mind, but I'm sure when it's happening I won't even remember my name let alone my vision LOL

I've been trying so hard NOT to visualise it. I'm planning on just taking it as it comes, cause the last time I had everything set out how I wanted it to be and somehow it didn't work for me.

The only thing I do think about is.......I MUST NOT PULL ON OH's HEAD THIS TIME!!!!

Linzi

lol!

I wish I could do that to my OH but he's bald.

I keep threatening tying dental floss round his bits and pulling on it though lol

My friends mum bit her husband during labour and he still has the scars LOL

Looking back I feel so sorry for him, he hated seeing my in so much pain and tried to help as much as he could and all I could do was pull his hair.

What a picture, I was shouting out in pain and he's shouting out "Let go of my F***** hair"
