Thanks everyone! Now i am getting VERY excited!!

Its the contractions i worry about, they were so intense and overwhelming with DD's labour which made me have pain relief which i really didn't want but i wasn't coping.

Because all of the new rooms have baths every woman has the option of a waterbirth but i will be saying i want one so they can be sure i have a midwife who is trained to be there.

Cherished, i'll check out your birth story soon! Looking forward to it!
