Birthing plans :)

:) Hey girls, just wondering what everyone had for their labours?
Pain killers? Pool? Natural?
I had a natural birth for my daughter, I had planned for a pool birth BUT as ALOT of my family and boyfriends family wanted to be their for the birth, the pool rooms weren't big enough.
I had planned to have Chase's mum,dad,sister.
My mum,dad and sister there for the birth.
As it was a difficult time for us all as Chase had died 5 months before the birth. :(
In the end my daughter was 2 weeks early, so no one was ready (my dad hadn't come from Germany yet, my mum hadn't travelled form north to south Wales)
Chase's parents hadn't travelled from Ireland yet. My sister hadn't travlled from Germany either yet.
So int he end my brother who lived a few miles away came. And was the only family member for the birth. :)
This time around James is DEFFO going to be there and I want it to be ONLY JAMES. :)
So a pool birth will be possible. Is it any good? :) xx

  • I didn't have the pool but I spent alot of my labour in the bath n it was brilliant, felt more relaxed n does take some pain away n is quite nice but I gave birth on the bed lol xx

  • @xxSarahJanex :) did you have a home birth then? Yeah I do think it would help abit. I mean first time was the WORST experience ever, but I just wanna know if I can make it easier for myself haha. Think I put my brother of seeing his girlfriend give birth (she's due in Feb) He is very nervous HAHA :) xx
