@sjbeanie yes don't listen to them every birth is different. You can make at easy or as hard as you want so I've been told. It's your birth you can even request calming music I think. If you can I'm gonna have that will help me. I want music haha takes my mind off things x

@emma.atkins1 yeah the more relaxed the better it must be so hard not to panic but if relaxing is better for baby I will sure try my hardest to chill out :) your getting good advice most people tell me their horror stories and it's the last thing you need as a first time mum xx
Emma Atkins·
@sjbeanie me too all the drugs haha. I am so bad with pain. Someone gave me some good advice and said try to go to a place in your head and keep telling yourself everything is fine and you need to relax. Prob harder said than done but she said it relaxes your muscles, quicker birth and better for baby no stress.
Oh I know we feel very lucky he gets it off only got rolled out in decemeber 2017 x

@emma.atkins1 I want to try a water birth with just gas and air :) but if needs be I will have baby outta the water on all the drugs haha! So lucky that your partner gets 6 months aswell!xx
Emma Atkins·
@sjbeanie yeah I get that it's makes sense to me. Oh no gutted that's so rubbish about your maternity. I feel really lucky to have a year off. And my husband gets 6 months full pay off too which is amazing. Kinda, I'm thinking water birth with gas and air and if it's too painful get out and have epidural. What you thinking? Xx

@sjbeanie haha yep. I've just washed loads of baby clothes and got broody haha even though I'm pregnant. I don't think it will feel real to me till my baby is in my arms. You haven't got long left now max 6 weeks. Good luck with everything I will keep my eye out for baby pics x
