It must depend on the mama and the kind of labor... we have a friend who actually walks all through labor...
Can't imagine.
Here there is (for 2 of the 5 labors) a whole bunch of vomiting at start. And then after that for the 4 actual labors there was intense labor where speech is mostly not possible. So no talking, no drinking, no eating. The last one labor had barely started before we went for the C.... so, that was very different.
So maybe a saline bag would be nice.

Yep! Some are, mostly with rubber sheets on the bed and such. Water birth is like a big pool of warm water to soften up your cervix.And a bed birth???? Some babies are born in beds?
NO! My worst nightmare.

Of course it is!!!
You just now have to go out and buy twice as many baby items. Gonna get real expensive if you are doing disposable diapers.
Beds? Dad was born on the kitchen table.And a bed birth???? Some babies are born in beds?

Your are right on the diapers thing… DW and I are discussing cloth ones. I might just pull her to the dark side.

Well, since it cost so much for you to get pregnant, that is like getting 2 for one though so the costs came down 50% !Found out yesterday at my supposed anatomy scan I’m having twins. I’m so shocked and excited. A boy and a girl! Wish us all the luck in the world.
Horse time just went out the window....
God bless... that's going to be a real BIG adjustment....

Cloth diapers are the best way to go. Better for the baby in the long run... even with "rubber pants" to put over them to contain wetness, they let the skin breathe better and if there are any type of problems with plastic allergies. And good cloth diapers are SOOOOO much cheaper... even figuring in the washing and drying... And I dried mine on the clothesline because we did not have a dryer..... Fresh air and sunshine to help to sanitize them.... and my son was born Feb 16 th so plenty of winter still in Conn. where I lived.... Had plenty and washed 2-3 times a week all according to the weather... they often freeze dried on the line overnight... then the next day the sun would thaw them and they would come in softer when I brought them in. Would hang and finish drying the dampness some times... Never ending job it seemed... but he did not get diaper rash and I only used disposable ones when I went visiting and such. We never could have afforded them all the time.

Perhaps but it was 93 years ago, things were a bit different out in farm country then.
We did cloth with DD1, had a service for awhile then by ourselves. DW was home year 1, I was home year 2. DD2 had issues with the commercial service diapers and DW went with disposable. Seems like way too much "it will be there forever" landfill stuff to me. A couple dozen cloth diapers per kid should do the job. Plus, when the kids don't need them anymore they make excellent cleaning cloths
