Hi Babyrat,
I know no delivery is whitout pain I had my first one in July 2009 and it lasted 20 hours...
But I just wanted to reassure myself by reading this book
I'ts not a bad idea I think That's all I can have
Lots of other women for their deliveries have the great chance to have their mothers, or mother in law, near them at the time of the delivery
Me no
I use ship and shop with certain things from Amazon. You could post it to a friends house where they will ship to and then they could forward the book to you.
ps., No childbirth is painless!
