We get two midwives for a HB, one comes later. All depends on what time it kicks off I guess. DP will probably be around to go through the labour with me, but I'm happy to do stage 2 on my own with the MW.

First time DP WAS in the pub, opposite the hospital. He got to me just before my parents and sisters - who he then met for the first time in the delivery suite! ooops!

Oh dear Fulham are on the TV and they are losing 4-1! Dp is not happy! It's his birthday tomorrow, poor love!

i'm hoping for a pool birth with soft lighting, DH in the rocking chair, MW standing by with the sieve!

Pool birth at home or in hospital? I want a pool home birth. Need to buy a pool soon I think! Time keeps creeping up on me, it's really not long to go now!

oh at the hospital - too much hassle at home for me - you can rent pools here for a fraction of the cost - or just get a really big paddling pool!!

don't forget to but a sieve - wouldn't want to use the same one you strain the veg in!!!!

'kin 'eck, imagine making a film of your gaping hairy fanjo (thanks, Holly!) and then showing it! Even your lo wouldn't want to see where he came from, never mind anyone else. Dh is going to be there for me, though I have my doubts as he can't watch ER/Casulaty/Scream or anything with gore .

I am 80s pop music expert having been a teenager then. I had a terrible crush on Andy Ridgeley and used to stalk him round Watford and Rickmansworth. The shame. I just heard the radio playing 'Hard to Say I'm Sorry' by Chicago and that took me right back to the erection section at 80s nightclubs. Them were the days......I reckon the bad behaviour of teenage males nowadays can be directly attributed to the loss of slow songs at the end of an evening.

I read my Miriam Stoppard book again last night. Pooed my pants in fear!

LOL Doggus! Very eloquently put!! I've a friend who, when asked by her small son where he came from, showed him.

OK, its natural and all the rest, but really........

You can buy brand new inflatable pools from eaby for about £35. People buy them and never get to use them and sell them on ebay.

Foxy - dh bought me Miriam Stoppard, I looked at it when 6 weeks pg, was horrified, and have hidden it at the back of the bookcase. Absolutely terrifying.

My bloody mother took a pic of dd having her first feed! I am lying on the stitching up table whilst the mw is doing her sewing and my hair is all wet and my face is all red and sweaty. Luckily it is only of my top half! I was horrified when she got them developed, now I think it's quite funny!

Holly that is exactly what my mum would do, too. I bet your face was a picture. At least it wasn't the mother in law!

I have a photo of DS2 having his first feed, and I love it, its one of my favs. But I was in my own fluffy bed, not on the stitching up table!!

OMG, I've had to pull out of the family weekend away for fear of going into labour and my MIL wanting to be there! I'm sure they planned it so it could happen! Can't think of anything worse.

The thought of that table sends shivers up my spine! Legs in stirrups...ewww the horror!

oh my god i would rather give birth alone in a field of nettles than have my MIL or MOTHER present - no way hosey.

My mum was brilliant, she really kept me going. Then she is very much a no nonsense type of person, which is what you need when in labour. I don't think my dp uttered a word throughout the whole thing!

but she still cooked the lamb in the washing machine .....

i love her for that!!

She's great my mum!! My dp always tells me that's where I get my scattiness from!

Can I borrow your mum please holly?

Sure can, but I want her back!
