Oh! The things I would do differently in the delivery room.

I was just thinking about all the small details I would change- next time. I was wondering what others would do differently during a subsequent labour and birth.

I'll go first.
Next time I will-
Get naked at the earliest opportunity!
Demand all the pillows I feel I need, then proceed to arrange a nest on the floor if I see fit. (I was too worried about being an inconvenience, than doing my thing)
Stay off my back.
Drink more water. Maybe have a coffee. Make it a double
Bring my own music, because the stuff they were playing was messing up my groove. They insisted it was relaxing. It sucked so much having music I hated playing while I was also in agony, lol.
Bring something from home to clutch when I feel out of control.

Next time I will NOT-
Give up on myself or lose trust in my body.
Give a toss if my MW doesn't like the way I labour, or finds me annoying.
Submit so easily to the cascade of intervention.
