Tell us something about you!

I carefully packed my 'bag' for the hospital with all the things the midwife said we would need for a lengthly labour - novels, sandwiches, energy lozenges, massage oil, music, travel backgammon! 'It's not going to be like on the telly' the midwife said as all the mums-to-be hung onto her every word, taking notes! Wrong, wrong, wrong. Just about made it up in the lift to the ward on both occassions (especially the second time). We still laugh about my laminated birthing plan that never made it out of the bag!
