But at the same time, it made me realise how much of the process is now a complete blur to me, so I'm hoping that reading through my notes with the midwife might help to shed some light on the bits I can't remember clearly. xlucy at dear beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389965251370657029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511297148381608839.post-70294292926883443612012-03-09T08:51:41.219+00:002012-03-09T08:51:41.219+00:00This is lovely that you have blogged in secret :-)...This is lovely that you have blogged in secret :-) I also think writing your birth story out will definitely help you for this birth. Scary as it is sometimes we need to re visit experiences to reflect and see what we can take from it. My birth will be the same as last time minus the horrid labour bit, which I could cope with but it's just the unknown this time round...I have been more relaxed this pregnancy and you will notice that midwives don't bother with you so much but then you know more of what to expect anyway. Looking forward to more posts! xxMummy and the Beastiehttp://mummyandthebeastie.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511297148381608839.post-39207510194444572202012-03-08T17:59:51.785+00:002012-03-08T17:59:51.785+00:00My new midwife is so supportive.

They've changed the service they offer since last time so I will have exactly the same midwife for every antenatal appointment which I'm sure will be fab.

I'm definitely going to be blogging more about how I want to approach this labour. Last time I didn't really have a plan as such, this time I want to have a bit more of one so I can have a bit more control and not feel helpless. I'm hoping my husband might feel more empowered to help this time too, as last time he just seemed terrified.

I've heard it raved about so much. I did yoga last time and loved the relaxation techniques but after hours of agony I found it impossible to keep it up.<br />In all honesty, I think the end result far outweighed any negativity I felt about my experiences. But I think my experience and knowledge will make me stronger and more assertive next time. I want my experience last time to make me stronger and braver and not more afraid.<br />Xlucy at dear beautifulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389965251370657029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511297148381608839.post-9970982954623163372012-03-08T17:48:37.382+00:002012-03-08T17:48:37.382+00:00I was just about to suggest a doula too!

I'm not sure if they are as popular over in the UK (I'm Canadian but living in the Isle of Man). <br /><br />It might help to ease your fears and stress this time around since you had a rough go last time. My friend that is a doctor had a stressful first labor. Second time around she did a hypnobirthing course and it helped her get over all her fear from the first labor.<br /><br />Anyways, something to think about.<br /><br />Hoping this second go is easier on you. And congratulations on #2! :)Rachelhttp://theminimalistmom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2511297148381608839.post-10583629702860060062012-03-08T10:35:33.417+00:002012-03-08T10:35:33.417+00:00I really hope so.
