I would love DP to do it, but I am really unsure of how he will handle to whole labour as he does not like hospitals, blood and all the gross stuff.
My DH is the same. Actually prior to the birth, he would faint at the sight of blood, but at the birht of our son he tells me 'I just didn't look at that stuff, and focused on the other end!'


Find out as much as you can about the hospital and what they do/don't offer. No-one told me that our hospital had a bath, until I was in active labour -- the consulting OBs (not mine, just had midwives) apparently don't like their patients using it. Cos I only had midwives though, I lept at the change and didn't get out for 3 hours! My mum kept adding hot water for me!

If you want them, they don't have things like a fitball, beand bag, etc, ask whether you can bring in your own?
