I wish I'd used the shower for pain relief the first time around.

I wish I'd done a bit more research on what my body was doing during labour and concentrating on my breathing.

I wish I'd known that getting an epidural meant I had a 50% chance of vacuum or forceps birth.

I wish I'd known that when I was getting to the point where I was thinking "I can't handle this anymore" that I didn't actually have much longer to go.

I wish I'd spent more time cuddling skin to skin, sniffing him and gazing at him rather than getting him into a routine. I wish I'd been more prepared to go with the flow.

And I wish I'd had more healthy food in the freezer ready to heat and eat for dinner!
