That's a wonderful idea writing everything down for DH, TeniBear!

I hadn't even thought about doing that, but being that my DH doesn't even want to be in the labour room when I give birth, I definately think I'll follow your lead. I have a good friend as back up birth partner if DH doesn't come, so it is something she can use too! It may even make DH feel a little more comfortable about being there, as he'll know what is expected of him, as I think that is half of his problem - he doesn't think he'll be able to help me or cope with me in pain!!

Cheers, Lou.
