Your suggestions on how to cope with a long labour?

[Julie Doula]

Hi Willow, I just heard that Geelong hospital does waterbirth, so along with John Hunter in Newcastle, the Monash, Casey, Angliss Birth Centres it's good to know that there are birth centres out there doing waterbirth - it's so nice for both mum and bub. I think you can just not get out. They might be amazed how simply it all just happens. You can always get out to birth the placenta if they are wanting to keep an eye on blood loss. It's amazing what a help submerging in water is during labour.

Hope it all goes wonderfully for you Willow.
