I considered hypnotherapy to get me through this morning sickness but I got pregnant before I had a chance to look into it and then I was too unwell to do anything about it.If you click on the Contact link in the sidebar there is a form which you can fill in which comes straight to my email inbox (I got so inundated with spam after publishing my email on my last site that I opted for this arrangement this time.)

I mean, honestly, how would the species have survived if all us mothers could clearly recall all the details of our deliveries? I pushed for four hours while delivering my first son, but I've needed my husband and sister to remind me of that fact. If it had been so well embedded in my own mind, I never would have had the girls, I'm sure. I do have a friend who seems to remember every second of her son's delivery which ended with a c-section after many hours of labor and she's only got one child and is absolutely commited to never having another, so there you go.My third delivery was the "easiest", but then I was still in labor for 25 hours. Or maybe it was 48. I'll have to check in with my husband. Oh, and I'll send you some "hypnobirthing" info. if you don't mind...I know it sounds cheesy, but I think it really worked for me, seeing as how I pushed for four hours and my head did not explode!

And Pam, thank you for your thoughts (although to be honest I'm trying very hard not to think about the next one's arrival!).

It's our reward for birthing so many babies! Don't sweat the small stuff. I'm also here to offer nothing but positive thoughts for you and your upcoming birth experience, it's going to be great.

Otherwise we'd never go through it more than once.

Well apart from the fact that they arrived of course. I think your brain blanks out most of it to protect you :) Don’t worry – I can’t remember much about either of my two boys’ births now and they weren’t THAT long ago and were fairly monumental events.
