That's interesting about the inadequate support making labour harder. I guess it makes sense...I'll jump on the bandwagon about this with DH!! Thankfully a friend who is also my massage therapist is also going to be available if necessary for a bit of extra support while I'm in labour. Not sure if I'll have her in the birthing suite, but we'll wait and see.

James was 9lb 2oz and I'm expecting Ramlet to be a big 'un too...but I'm much better prepared mentally and physically this time I believe. I honestly can't wait to see how it goes!
