This might sound strange but...

I am planning on spending the first few hours of labour alone. I don't want to come on BB and post, don't want to ring a soul, not even hubby. I want to be alone and experience labour pains on my own, knowing that my body was built for this and that as a woman I have within me everything I need to successfully birth my baby. I think this is going to be a great positive start to labour, and what I need to build my confidence.

Of course then I'd ring hubby and get him to come home (or wake him up) and then my doula. But I really really want this time alone to labour alone and feel that inner strength.

Am I nuts????
