I have 7 or so weeks to go now, and thinking back to my first 2 births, all I could think every time a contraction hit was ' ow ow that really f hurts' which I'm sure didn't help! Can anyone give me any advice/ tips on more positive things to focus on which will maybe shift my focus from sore bits, and help me get through.
Please guys, I know you are all good at sharing and giving advice, and I would really appreciate something other than 'picture your cervix opening like a flower' which just doesn't do it for me
maybe that first bacardi and coke?
or counting backwards in spanish?
finding out what flavour it is - blue or pink?
what thought kept you going?
thanks guys!!
