    Percy,

    I didnt do anything other than have faith in my bodies ability to be able to birth...
    I was prepared to have & take whatever I needed once the time came, but I had one suck on the gas & it did nothing, so I threw it aside, I had an epi & am glad I did it all this time without any drugs, but would in no way shape or form have been upset at all had I have had the drugs, like I did with my first....


    ETA: Staying at home as long as possible is a huge help... I arrived at the hospital having major contractions, but fought my way up the stair instead of the lifts & when I was initially examined about 15 mins after arriving at the hospital, my waters were bulging & about to burst, this was around 10:30pm, Indah was birthed at 12:31am...
