wht a great thread ajp!

i cant say i ENJOYED it, but i am extremly proud of myself and my body for what it has done. KWIM?
With my 1st, I was scared, had no idea what i was in for (oh it really couldnt hurt THAT much could it? )
I ended up with 2 lots of peth and couldnt get off the bed so i couldnt really enjoy it i supppose!!

With DD it was extremly quick so once everything started, the contractions came on thick and quick... i had prepared myself this time i told my midwife, student midwife and DF that i did not want drugs NO MATTER how much i begged..
and i told my student midwife to keep reminding me ' this is what your body was designed to do' and 'the more scared you are of the pain the more it will hurt'
so that really helped me through transition.
This time it has taken me alot longer to forget the pain..

SO the answer to your question i didnt ENJOY it as such but i am very happy
