Before the birth: "Yah, I want a really natural, organic experience so my baby enters this world to calmness and whale song"
During the birth: "Give. Me. The. *advertiser censored*. Drugs. And. Get. This Thing. Out. Of Me. NOW"
I had quite a hurty first birth, but for my second I was off my head on whatever and had a snooze between contractions. The drugs DO work, kids!
Ha! I am the last of the generation that was born when the mother was completely knocked out! I don't think kids these days even realize that that is how some people were born.
Also, I came across a Facebook post, and I don't know how to linkit, and I don't know if I'm allowed to, but I had no idea of the information below which was posted in it. I learned so much from all you guys and getting interested in something that you guys post and getting educated!
"Today The Queen attended Royal Maundy Service at St George’s Chapel. Her Majesty was joined by her granddaughter Princess Eugenie today.
Royal Maundy is one of the most ancient ceremonies retained in the Church of England. Monarchs including Elizabeth I have taken part in the ceremony, which falls on the Thursday before Easter and commemorates the Maundy and Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles.
By 2017, The Queen had visited every cathedral in the UK for the Royal Maundy Service. This year 93 retired pensioners, all who have made positive contributions to their church, were invited to receive alms from Her Majesty at St. George’s Chapel.
The Maundy money is presented in white and red purses – this year The Red Purse contained a £5 coin, commemorating the 200th anniversary of Queen Victoria's birth.
Details of Holy Week and Easter Services at St George’s can be found at

Services include the Eucharist of the Last Supper at 8pm on Maundy Thursday.’
