Some of the stuff is a bit out there but, as with all guide books, you just need to take from it what works for you. <br />It's not a cheap book as it is an import...I still have my copy if you'd like to borrow it.Betsy Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673698935648490910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8738030102303683389.post-88965581353248679362010-03-29T05:10:26.100-07:002010-03-29T05:10:26.100-07:00Congratulations, have a grat time in Bali...lookin...Congratulations, have a grat time in Bali...looking forward to hearing more as you grow! xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8738030102303683389.post-29031477258857423642010-03-24T04:56:49.580-07:002010-03-24T04:56:49.580-07:00Oh you are a sweetheart!!!!

I'm so thrilled for you. <br /><br />Can I reassure you that the cervical 'L' plates are off and your next labour will be much, MUCH easier. All the toughness you brought to your last labour, when it all d-r-a-g-g-e-d- on to get to 3-4cm and fully effaced will stand you in good stead.<br /><br />You will present in established labour and go much more quickly, I'm sure. That's what I see every day with second timers. Believe it!<br /><br />The Royal Women's sounds good. Be guided by them re natural, normal birth. Janet Belaskas, The book with Sarah Murdoch is also good. <br /><br />To get your head around it I would recommend "Birthing from within". It is a journally / art therapy / inner voice book. BRILLIANT.<br /><br />Oh, I'm delighted Em, congratulations to you all.Laura Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299523378009842115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8738030102303683389.post-64320617714444211292010-03-24T03:28:29.808-07:002010-03-24T03:28:29.808-07:00Congratulations Em.

Annie is lucky to have a great family and will be a terrific big sister. Seeing how great Felix is with babies makes me wish I could give him a brother or sister too.<br />I can highly recommend the book Birth Skills by Juju Sundin, with Sarah Murdoch. It focuses on teaching you how to deal with labor and associated pain to achieve a natural birth, by explaining exactly what's happening, however it is very very good in not making you feel like a loser if for some reason you need an epidural or other intervention. The aim, as you already know, is just to get a healthy baby out into this world! best of luck with it all.<br />Lyn<br />xLynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15766032714435365817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8738030102303683389.post-28526219198560071852010-03-23T22:29:55.261-07:002010-03-23T22:29:55.261-07:00Yay we get to congratulate you again!

The good thing about having kids closer together is that Annie will never remember life without her sibling and she'll be so tickled with a new addition that she won't want to anyway. For a drug free birth I recommend the TENS machine, heat packs and a fit ball. It helped me through my births. Oh and if I win...how about a coffee in your new house instead...tempting as it is to see your gory video x :)Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13778238517713121621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8738030102303683389.post-88565766021464694792010-03-23T18:25:29.371-07:002010-03-23T18:25:29.371-07:00Congrats again, I'm very excited for you. 2nd...Congrats again, I'm very excited for you. 2nd time around - it will be breeze.....Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787357076100007950noreply@blogger.com
