1. Know my birth choices. I am one of those people who sort of accepts that every birth is different, so I'm not going to go into this one thinking that I know exactly what it's going to be like. But what I do want is to ensure that I am clued up about things that may be offered to me. For example with Ethan I had a ventouse delivery (a natural delivery but with help using a suction cup). I was happy with this and on reflection I'm so pleased this was offered to me rather than forceps, as I don't really know how I feel about the idea of forceps being used. Because of this, I'm going to be having an appointment with a consultant midwife to go through potential things that may come up during the birth, just so that this time I go in with a bit more of a clearer insight and idea of things, which'll hopefully help me to relax a little more.
