I'll probably sing to distract myself! I don't think music will be tainted... but then again I have no idea as I've never done it before. Or, I could just listen to DH's music for distraction, I don't really like it anyway I might do a mix of playlists and they're there if I decide I need I guess.

I should do some sort of rough birth plan for hossy, I'll probably wimp out and end up there anyway but either way, I'll have my DH, mum, SIL, midwives & student midwife and they all know what I want! So hopefully one of them will stand up for me if I get transferred, or stick up to me if I wimp out haha. All I want is as natural as possible and no formula for baby. I'll source donated breast milk if I have to!

So experienced homebirthers.. must haves for homebirth? What should I prepare that I might not be told about? I'm starting to get quite nervous! I've had nothing but support from everyone about our birth choice but I still can't help but feel some doubt. Does that ever go away?

I'm in Perth Cassius so it'd be a bit warmer, either way we've got an refridgerated air-con & a gas heater in the lounge so I think I'll be ok. (Seriously, 35 degrees in April, WTH Perth?!)

Oh and what's an episiotomy?
