I always have to bite my lip when I see all these lovely trinkets that first time mums have for labour. Not everyone shits themselves while screaming they were going to die of course so I only speak from my own experiences (OP back labour for that one). Midwives must have to re-insert their eyes from rolling when glam mums arrive with affirmation cards, glitter and wee bits of wood to squeeze. Arrive with a car seat, some wet wipes and a few nappies(for both of you). Done
