Cindy - i hope you are able to have the labour you want. i was due one day before you, and had to have a c/section for other reasons. emma actually decided to come early anyway though. i still had the c/section but an emergency one. so i can only give you my opinion based on that. all i will say is that if the end result is a happy and healthy mum and bub, that is the most important thing.

from my experience, the spinal block is nothing to be frightened of. it really isnt bad at all. try to be positive about it. i hope you do get to give birth naturally if it is your preference, but do remember that you will be fine either way.

all the best - how exciting - you will be meeting your bub before you know it!!!
