Hi JellyBean
Thanks for the info. I'm doing Pregnancy Yoga at the moment also which is helping a bit. I guess the idea of going through this alone, being the first time which is supposed to be so special too, is a bit sad. I've got my mum though as my birthing partner and she's great.
I'll look into calmbirthing as well, thanks for that. It's so hard to find an aromatherpist in Cairns and the healthfood stores just want to sell you anything so they'll tell you anything they think you want to hear. I found acupunture great for morning sickness and calming too so might look into that. I just want to be prepared enough to bring Little Bean into a calm environment because his/her father is creating hell for us right now.
When is your second one due? I'm due on the 5th of November so if you're before me perhaps you can let me know how it all went:-)
