Labour Drill

I have been training Daddy on what to do in the labour ward. For ages its been:

(1) NO medical students pls.
(2) Full breastfeeding, NO formula pls
(3) I want Joy Joy to latch on immediately after birth, definately within 15 minutes. Weighing, cleaning etc can wait.
(4) Tell the nurses / doctors I MIGHT want epidural
(5) Check with me at around 3cm & again at around 6cm on whether I want epidural
(6) No C-Section unless absolutely, life-threateningly necessary
(7) Daddy to cut Joy Joy's cord

Now, I want to add the following:

(8) Daddy to video Joy Joy's birth moment
(9) After baby has latched on, we take a family photo then Daddy is to FOLLOW THE BABY and take photos (we had a short photography session so that Daddy know how to use the cam / video cam)
(10) I want Joy Joy to sleep with me. Beside me in her baby bed / with me in bed so that I am not far away when she needs Mummy.

And change (4) and (5) to:

I want to have a natural birth without epidural. TRY!

Poor Daddy haha.. so many things to remember.. but i've written it down here, just in case... hahaha

Epidural or no Epidural

These are the responses I get from FB on Epidural or no Epidural. Isn't it just amazing.

Thing is, I think my uterus is contracting (i.e. when Joy Joy is not moving but my uterus tightens and wraps around her and I can see her bump clearly and my whole tummy area is like a hard basketball) once in a while, but I don't feel contraction pain! So when do I go to the hospital? When the water bag bursts? When I have bloody show?

I also have a funny and secret worry that my water bag will burst when I'm on the bed. Whats gonna happen to the bed...
