When you went into hospital;
1 On arrival, were you asked to lie down while examined to see how dilated you were?
2 Were you encouraged to lie down / labour on a bed?
The childbirth / pain relief threads have got me thinking about this and in 2001, at my hospital birth nobody told me I might find labour a bit easier if I figured out how to breathe through the contractions.
I am wondering if this was just my hospital / whether today the approach in a hospital has changed at all?
