friend due to help sister give birth @ home, gift ideas pls

[bigboydiditandranaway]

pregnant friend due to to help her sister give birth @ home and i wanted to put a few things together for her as she is also pregnant and has never been involved in a homebirth.

any ideas pls?

Ina May Gaskin's guide to childbirth is great in terms of increasing confidence for both her and her friend.

You might also want to buy her some labour oil or something like that, plus a jokebook to distract her friend - the cornier the better.

Oh and LARGE LATTE CUPS for tea - they don't go cold quickly and it means she may have a chance of getting a few mouthfuls in a decent state.

thanks wmmc, good tips
