I packed travel scrabble and made DH play with me for hours during labour (the dilating bit). That was great. I also packed note-pad and book and wrote my birth story until the book was taken away LOL. I think I got more than 24 hours of the stuff down as it happened.

(I'm now REALLY thinking homebirth... I want to bug DH as much as possible if he's around and watch late-night TV when I can't sleep because of contractions. And also wander around naked. And do washing when I need to.)
god love ya! I can only imagine my labour being like that. I hope it is
