    HotI, I am not sure. I guess labour contractions end up with a baby and BH ones are just a pain

    Bella, good luck! I hope it happens soon for you xx

    Here is a little bit on home birth from the male perspective -A friend had a little baby boy the other day, at home in water just like she wanted. I went over to visit and we talked on and off for about 2 hours going over the general story of the birth and then other bits and pieces as she thought of them, comparisons with first birth etc as you do.

    So today the father was over at our place talking to DH while they were shoveling gravel. The conversation went like this:
    DH: How is baby going?
    F: Good, way easier than #1. Were you at your DD2's water birth?
    DH: yep
    F: Did you catch her?
    DH: Nope, the midwife did
    F: I caught mine and passed him under wifes leg. It was good being at home.
    DH: yeah, it is way easier being at home.
    F: With #1 wife had to stay in hospital for 10 days because he was early
    DH: That would have sucked. Being at home is much better.
    F: Yeah, people were worried about it, but it was way easy.
    DH: It isn't a problem. Do you want me to bring round the wheelbarrow?

    yeah, that was what i came up with too! wondered if there was more to it. i think i had BH a few weeks back, there were like muscle contractions with no pain, just kinda like waves across my tummy.
