I’m having my baby in a birthing centre…..?

Okay I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant with a baby girl 🙂 I already have a 5 year old son and I had him in a birthing centre and with this pregnancy I am also giving birth in a birthing centre, which means no drugs, so it is going to be a natural birth drug free. I am also wanting a water birth my midwife has done heaps of them so I feel very comfortable with doing this.

My main question is, what advice would you like to give me to prepare myself? It has been a long time since the birth of my son, all I really remember was that I was in a lot of pain but afterwards I felt great. I’m staring to get nervous and really would like advice to help with my anxiety of giving birth without pain relief again.
Thanx so much

when to expect AF after miscarriage?

Hi. I had a m/c on the 5th of this month. I was 6 weeks 1 day. It was natural, I didn’t need a D&C. This pregnancy was diff. than my other three which produced 3 living children ( my boys), as my symptoms were very mild the whole time and they were not really getting stronger…at least not much anyway. I bled for 6 days and my symptoms were all gone by the time I quit bleeding. I didn’t have any bloodwork done, my DR. pretty much just gave me warning signs to look for and that was all.
We are eager to get back to ttc. We had been trying for 2 years. I am just wondering when I might expect AF? I usually have pms, but I have had none so far that would signal AF coming? Has anyone else been in this situation who might give me an idea of when I might expect it?
It is crazy..for 2 years I DREADED old AF coming, now I wish she would just hurry up and get here. I think I’m insane.
Thanks
