• LISTEN to what the nurses say, but listen to yourself too! I knew I needed to push and was told by nurses I didn’t! When they checked I was crowning, you know your body!!
  • Although it feels like the end of the world, it isn’t! Only a few hours of pain, for a lifetime of happiness!
  • Pack your suitcase sooner rather than later! (last thing you want is to be packing whilst having contractions)
  • Don’t listen to other people’s opinions on how you should have your baby, what drugs to have if you have any! Do what YOU want to do!
  • Relax! As hard as it sounds, try your best. You don’t want to stress yourself or your baby, try taking a bath to help with pain!
  • Enjoy it! As weird as that sounds to enjoy labour, it’s an amazing experience, one you will never forget! Trust me, the way you feel weeks after the birth is worse than labour!
