I agree with the others just let yourself go and flow with the labour as much as you can....this will be better for you and baby. If you really don't want hubby to leave tell them you don't want him too. I had DP leave during labour just to quickly zap home and feed the dogs and get some food cause they didn't offer him anything all day and he was only gone for half hour and i just completely lost control as soon as he left....he was my rock during labour and thats how i got through it without any pain relief. My midwifes were great but the person you love and trust is so much better.

Good luck for tonight
