Thank you! We might be a tiny bit nervous, but I think we'll be fine so long as the baby arrives healthy!

Easy birth vibes would be much appreciated! They're going to spend the night ripening my cervix, so hopefully labor will get going sometime in the wee hours or in the morning!

I hope it kicks off nice and quickly. And remember, epidurals can be wonderful things! I had one towards the end of my first labour with my daughter, after working through TENS machine, nitrous oxide, pethidine, and what a relief - it was FAB!

Chanting through the contractions helped, too - I only discovered this during my second labour, when I found going 'Oooooh' in the key of my choice took the focus away from the discomfort and gave me a feeling of control. It was actually quite liberating.

I'm sure you'll find your own way - very best wishes!

:D

I am probably going to save the epidural for as long as I can wait without it being too late, but I've heard excellent things about them! I'm just crossing my fingers that we won't have to go the C-section route!
