This is what I had with DS. It was the freakiest thing ever, setting my alarm so I could be up early the next morning and going to bed knowing I was having my baby tomorrow! I cooked a beautiful dinner for DH and I and we couldn't stop laughing that it would probably be the last nice meal we'd ever eat. That morning we had to be at the hospital at 6.30am, and I was waiting out the front of our house for DH to bring out my bag to the car, and a couple went power walking past and I just blurted out "I'm going to have my baby!". They both got really excited, and she gave me a hug. I always wondered who those random strangers were
I only ever imagined birthing at night because that's what my sister and best friend had done for both of their babies. DS was born at 10.31am but it was a hideous day so it felt like night time. The girls were born at 3pm and it was a gorgeous day. I could see a tree out my window with it's leaves blowing in the wind, and as I was having contractions, I was thinking to myself "I wish I was that tree" lol. It looked way more peaceful than I felt.
