With Moo I couldn't think of anything besides the pain, plus I had my eyes closed. It's going to sound silly but with Buster all I could think of was a nice, long, hot shower! I just kept thinking that after all of this I was going to get that wonderful shower and it was going to be total bliss etc Funnily enough once he was born I wasn't even that interested in showering and had the quickest one I could get away with! I also concentrated on relaxing. I was on my knees and my waters were running down my legs, I found that if I tensed up during a contraction my waters would stop of course, was a great way to remind myself to relax.
