Ok, so which MNer gave birth in my campsite this morning? I have some questions....

[TorchlightMcKenzie]

like, how did you fill the birth pool?
How did you keep hot?
How did you empty it?
Did you also deliver the placenta in the bell tent?

And many MANY more!

And, can I meet you? Am also in bell tent with 7 week old!

Bloody hippie twats is all I'm saying.....

i think its nice. and a baby being born, come on, most natural thing in the world. and to the people at the folk festival it must have been somethign marvellous to talk about!

Bet she's a fan of 'Spiritual Midwifery'.

Well this thread has taken a while to get through...

Nice for Gladrags and her bloke to end up with a healthy baby. However tents have virtually no soundproofing whatsoever, so to spend the night awake with 2 young boys under 6, with a woman mooing and screeching literally 4 feet away would have completely infuriated me. I would definitely have complained.

Childbirth is magical for the parents, but not necessarily for random strangers and their kids, particularly from 3.30 am onwards.

She prolly wasn't screaming from 3:30!? Although I take it that she could have been.

Gentle moaning, barely perceptable, but just enough to keep you awake...building slowly over the hours would be even worse!

My DH snores, and the most annoying snore he does is the quiet snore. I lie there for ages thinking I'll nod off, it's not too bad, but I never do. I prefer a loud snore, at least I know where I am with that one, and decamp to the spare room straight away!

I have a question... Most campsites I've been to have those showers you have to keep pressing the button to remind that you're in there. Have visions of Chris/Elrond racing back and forth from tent to shower block going "stay ON you bugger!".... "Breathe....you're doing great"...."fecking thing's gone off again..."..."stay ON you bugger"..., ad infinitum.

Still quite Small Starlight :) which is the best thing about it

Ah! Shame I missed it!
