I remember Mark putting on the radio while I was in labour with Cairenn and all I could say was something like "Man that music is CRAP!!!!!"

With Liam's birth, I remember using visualisation and it helped me get my mind off the contractions (a bit!). I just closed my eyes, breathed deeply and pictured a rose opening.

Best of luck with your natural birth - having said the above, I will definately be having another epidural as I actually enjoyed Liam's birth. (I didn't enjoy Cairenn's as she got stuck.....enjoyed the end product though of course!)
