The first thing I’ll say is try not have a expectation of things going a certain way.. yes we all want our births to go perfectly but always be prepared for it not to go the way you plan 😅 listen to your body and don’t be afraid to ask for more pain relief if what your using isn’t helping. Whilst my last birth was long and tough for medical reasons… I wouldn’t change it, I enjoyed the actual experience. The midwives were amazing and were really kind and attentive and when crunch time came they were so supportive and talked me through everything.

Everybody’s birth is different, just have to relax and take whatever they give you lol! Good luck ❤️! Speak with midwives and healthcare professionals to go through a plan xx

I had epidural because I had emergency section i didnt feel the needle going in at all no pain whatsoever and you go num rightly away strange feeling. Not what I wanted as I wanted a water birth 😆 but baby had other ideas! Just dont think about it or stress my advice roll with it and just try to keep your mind busy xx
