What noises do you make? Are you loud? Do you grunt a lot? Do you space out and go silent?
I'm a moaner. I space out. I hate people talking or touching me.
What positions do you prefer? Do you actually prefer to be on your back? Are you a give-birth-standing-up type? Hands and knees? Crawl under the bed and have bubs there?
On my feet, leaning over with the hot water running down my back. I birthed DD1 & DD2 on my back, and DD3 on all 4's.
Do your labours start slowly, building up until your baby is crowning? Does it all hit you at once? Have you woken up one morning to find a new baby in your bed?
All of mine have started with a bang. Once my waters break, then it's all on. With DD2, I went from being 3cm, waters breaking, and her being born 50 min later. With DD3, I was 5 min, my waters broke, and she was born 2 minutes later!
All of my births have been the way I wanted them, and as a mega plus, they've all been quick as well (9hrs, 6hrs & 3hrs). After DD1, I knew I wanted to try drug free next time, which I did. After DD2, I knew I didn't want my mum in with me, and that I wanted to wait as long as possible at home. Which I did.
