any tips for a first time mum.....a scared, nervous first time mum!! everything is going perfectly…

As uncomfortable as it may be, try and keep moving (walking,rocking) whilst in labour. i didnt and it prolonged my labour. good luck 😚

thanks very much :) my partner is trying to get me to avoid the epidural as it also can prolong Labor!! very nervous mumma to be..another question, is it normal to have some hips?? I woke this morning and it feels like my hips are being pulled apart

I would keep my options wide open when it comes to pain relief, i too was agaisnt having an epidural but I was begging for it by the time i was 7cm lol. yes youre hips will feel like they are "spreading', its very normal as they are getting ready for child birth. if its causing to much discomfort have warm baths or get ur partner to give you a hip massage. during my labour my hips were more painful than the contractions, i though they were breaking. lol but in saying this.. its not that bad in the end :)

thanks very much :) great advice!! only 15 more weeks to wait till she's due!!!

youre welcome. Not long now, rest up x

I'm nervous too my first baby! My partners third so he's cruisy and keeps "picking" on me about how much it will hurt. Soooo nervous. My hips hurt soo much too
