I know I kind of feel like since I've had a couple home water births, I've experienced the best that birth can be, and its still hard. That makes it a little harder to face now, I think. I'm out of new tricks to try. I get those panicky moments, remembering transition times from previous births. But I do find it helps to remind myself that that time is really pretty short, and that when I get to that point, then I'm almost done and ready to meet my baby.
If I can redirect my thoughts, it definitely helps my mind set, and I can be more positive.
