Thanks Traveller, great tips!!!

She's at least with a birth centre so I'm hoping the MWs will be more amenable to things like taking the drip out once it has started... so going to the loo might be encouraged!

I'm hoping they'll help her into different positions too. They say they are all for encouraging pain management through use of different positions, shower, fit ball etc, so we'll see if they help her achieve those things!
