Gatsby my midwife told me last night that most new parents on meeting their newborns take up to a couple of minutes, even 5 mins, to even check what sex their baby is if left to their own devices (so that is, if someone hasn't yelled out already "It's a boy!", "It's a girl!").. like as if it becomes a bit irrelevant.
oh, didn't mean to imply I am having a home birth.. I will have the birthing pool to stay as comfortable as possible at home before heading to hospital...but if it happens too fast and I get to stay at home, GREAT! I would never say never to drugs either! I reckon, do your best, and whatever happens happens.
