Good job Alisia, that is really well written. Two things though that I saw were with the eating, chances are you wont feel like eating at all and may get frustrated with attempts to get you to eat LOL and also if you do eat, it may make you feel nauseous and/or vomit (just something to bare in mind) so thats something to think about, and also IF you need a c/s (but you wont, you will birth this girl all by yourself), ask for the canula (you will have to have one put in as routine to allow IV access for fluids/abs etc) to be placed higher in your arm and not your hand/wrist as it gets really sore after a while because you get too much movement in the area from bending your wrist/hand etc and it is generally a PITA anyway - trust me, that is something you want to avoid.
ETA - another thing too is for a possble c/s outcome is that you can still have a phsyiological 3rd stage too - but it is something you may have to fight for, but naturally if you need to hurry it up you wont push the point kwim? Also you could ask for one of the midwives or even Michelle to put her straight to the breast and have skin to skin even if you have a GA too.
