    Everything that i have read says that grunting or mooing can actually help with the final stage as it relaxes the throat and jaw and apparently if they are relaxed then you will automatically relax down below. Mind you i got told off for grunting too when i had my first one if looks could have killed that midwife would have been six foot under :rotfl:

    I plan on singing through them this time so i appologise in advance for any adverse weather we get hehe ;-) x

    My midwife told me that if your (mouth) lips are relaxed then your 'downstairs lips' (for want of a better phrase) will be too...so blowing loose raspberries can help relax you down there :rotfl:

    just wondering what my boyfriend will think of that mid-labour!

    Hey ladies, hope you're all well.

    EA - enjoy your scan! just a random piece of advice (if you're bothered) make sure you are trimmed 'down there' as the scanning person can get a bit personal. My knickers were nearly down at one point!

    Off to make tea now x

    Yeah I wish you had said that yesterday lol, she yanked my pants down and gave herself and OH an eyefull of pubes (not that I have a forest might I add lol, and not like OH hasnt seen it before lol)

    Well done on the mat leave fund Glam I should really try and do that lol

    Your going to be in a relatively new unit arent you Glam. I think they make allowences now for the noise when building, our new unit you can hear a pin drop in the hallways it is kind of freaky. As i'm staying at home though its only my poor neighbours who will suffer i think i will have to get them a nice bottle of wine for after :-) x

    xmaslolly....are you going to warn your neighbours? I'm planning a home birth too & wondering whether to pop a note in to the two flats either side of me, in case they think there is a murder going on and come and investigate. Or maybe just a discreet note on my door saying HB in progress would do? Sound doesn't seem to travel in my building, I never hear other TVs or anything, but full volume anguished screaming might....

    I havent decided yet but like you i am worried they will hear me screaming and come and investigate. I have a new build house so walls arent the best and i know any loud noise will travel. I was thinking about a discreet note thank fully i only have one connecting neighbour. I might just Speak to her next time i see her but ive never really spoken to her much and not sure "Hi I will be in labor OH isnt murdering me" is a very good ice breaker ;-)
