38 weeks pregnant and wondering whether to change my birth plan.....
I wanted a water birth last time but was so far through the labour by the time the pool was ready that I didn't get in it and the pain relief from the TENS machine was excellent, in fact it was my only pain relief through the whole birth, and I would have had to take it off before getting in the pool. Just wondering if the pain relief from the water would have been just as good, or better, and whether I should opt for a water birth again this time - and hope I can get to the hospital early enough to actually get in the pool!
