Thanks Sami!
I will look into accupuncture - I have never had it but I know lots of ladies swear by it.
I will have a look on the weekend for some Rasberry leaf - are the tabs better than the tea? It cant do any harm can it?
I am feelig very positive about the birth and I have no worries about the pain (well at this stage anyway) I have written my borth plan and I would pref no pain relife but will take some guidance if needed - I also want to be able to move around and would love to give birth standing or squating and will def use the bath / shower!
Thanks again for your suggestions!!
Kate
