I will stay at home, make a nest, dim the lights, get everyone to shut up, have no music (I found even my favourite songs annoying) get the midwife to sit in the corner and knit unless I ask her to help me
I will be the one to say the sex of the baby
I will do skin to skin with cord intact
I will touch the head so I am the first to touch the baby
I will realise that the most important people in that room are the baby and me and everyone else can go to hell with what they want. (apart from DS who is not an adult so different of course!)

I will not find out the sex of the baby until it is born and I will ask the midwife to not declare it until I have seen first
I will not try to please anyone but me and DS and the new baby
I will not lie down on a bed at all but go to my nest if I need to rest.
