This time I asked for pethidine on arrival and gas/air available all the time (rather than right at the end -no one thought to offer it to me!!). I haven't specified 'no epidural' because I'm still open to it if things get too much but I've told hubs that I'd like to exhaust all other options.

I've requested that they rupture my sac earlier so that babies head descends onto the cervix hopefully helping labour along a little (waters weren't broken til I was 10cm and they were strong with DS).

Also, I have put in my birth plan that if I do need a CS that hubby doesn't want to come with me (it's the only thing he said he wouldn't be able to do) so If my mum isnt around as well I guess I'd have to go it alone. I don't want anyone pressuring him into coming into theatre when I know and respect the fact that he can't handle being there. So need to be upfront about it in the birth plan.

If bubs needs to be given supplemental formula for low glucose like DS was I've requested that I bf during the drip feeds rather than bubs be given it through a bottle so that there isn't any teat confusion.

Ummm I think that's about it!
