I tried to keep in my mind that women have been built for labour and that my body knew what it was doing even if my mind didn’t (feel it did)

You worry so much the first time round. It’s the unknown. But the body just knows what to do and it’s amazing

Don't be afraid to ring the midwives, they are there to reassure you and give you advice and support

Just relax, enjoy being at home for the last few hours as a couple.

Women have been having babies for thousands of years… I’d definitely consider a home birth next time!
