thanks Sam x
my mum is going to be my birthing partner.
she was at the midwife appointment with me and the staff person.
it was ok, the staff member that came has suggested i practice relaxation techniques now so i can use them when the time comes.
the midwife was very understanding, and she even said that she had noticed i look uncomfortable when she is touching my belly, which i thought i was hiding quite well!
oddly enough, since the appointment, i have been a lot more relaxed about the idea, i still think i would freak out if they actually wanted to do an examination, but its a step in the right direction i think?
