Believe in your own bodies ability to birth, believe inyourself that you can do it. Nothing in life really comes without any pain. Try to embrace each contraction as bringing you closer to meeting your new baby. One down and time for the next one.

With Tehya who was my longest labour at around 10 hours, there were times where doubt did sort of creep in but I just pushed it away. Plus, it wasn't like I could have drugs at home
