:-k I think encouragement & gentle talking was good for both my labours....

Also allowing me to not know what I wanted but not suggestying things like I was annoying for not knowing what i wanted!!!

Also a maternity pad full of hot water pressed against me when head was crowning, took away chinese burn sensation!

Also dont ask me what i want or need etc when I am pushing!

But encourage me!

I also had fuinny jokes between contraction with Dh & Mum during 2nd stage...

When things are a tad worrisome or something is happening (Indah had swallowed meconium & they couldnt suction her so she wasnt breathing) do not let me see anyone worried!!

DH & Mum both smiled at me & midwives kept encouraging me, wsnt til later I found out...
