No hemmis and no heartburn yet.
Well ok... shit in the bathwater then.
One little tip about birthing in a tub though.... be careful when the baby is crowning. The baby's face hitting the air sometimes causes them to take their first breath. If the baby's face hits the air and then it gets submerged again, it could get a lungfull of water. I forget where I read that, but it was when I was considering home-birth methods and such.
I couldn't do a home-birth anyway because my son was big and I nearly wasn't able to push him out. 2 1⁄2 hrs of pushing... that was some stressful shit right there.
Hopefully though, you'll have an easy time of it. Be sure you have a good doula on call.
