I'm pg with #2, and last time I thought I was laidback and relaxed whilst also informed and knowledgeable... but had a difficult pg with SPD, lots of swelling, weight ballooned by 4.5 stones, and had a long 32 hour labour with classical cascade of intervention.
This time, while I've got plenty of time ahead of me, I'd like to take as many steps as possible to prepare positively. I know there is no such thing as the perfect pg or birth - but what would you recommend? From arnica and chanting to optimal foetal positioning... doulas... yoga... what helps? What works? What is worth considering/reading up on? And I suppose, what isn't worth it, and would you forget about?!!
