Hey ladies,
I'm hoping one or a few of you can do me a favour? It's going to sound really weird.
Basically when I went into labour with my son, there was a H&S sticker on the end of my bed and every time I would have a contraction I would stare at that sticker and read it over and over and over, it really helped me to focus and stay calm and I actually think that sticker helped so unbelievably much ( I did say it would be weird)
So, I'm due in 19 days, my first child came 18 days early so I would like to be prepared. I've been asking my partner for WEEKS, if not months, if he could prepare for me roughly 10 random facts on some paper that I could dot around the house to focus on during contractions. Naturally, he has not done this (usually it takes roughly 6 weeks between me asking him to do something and it actually getting done
) and I'm getting anxious that I won't have these to focus on. He's going away on a 3 day stag do this weekend (yes you read that correctly) and I can see this as something he won't do before he goes. I've now given up on asking him 
So im asking if anyone could possibly do this and email them to me? Obviously I can't do it myself as it needs to be new to me when I need them...
I'll give an example...
'Saturns nearest moon takes just 12 hours to circle the planet. Its farthest moon takes more than three Earth years'
So nothing too technical, fancy, confusing... No big difficult to read words sort of thing? Could be about anything... Planets, animals, clouds, countries, cultures, food, basic science ect. Think 12 year old intellect level (not that I'm saying that's a bad thing/what I'm at but just something easy to absorb and not overwhelm!)
If each fact could be on a separate word/pages page and in large writing (so I can read it on the wall whilst on the bed!) and emailed to me kara_m_evans (at) hotmail.com
I know I know it sounds weird but it's really important to me and I really resent my partner for not doing this. He keeps whinging that we haven't attended childbirth classes but he doesn't seem to understand that for me, (having gone through child birth before and knowing that I need to revert into myself in private and find focus) telling me to breath, making eye contact and giving me a half arsed back rub will not be supportive and will only serve to inhibit/stress me, he can be supportive by doing my facts, setting up the pool, applying the tens machine, getting me drinks, keeping my son entertained ect (all of which he's happy to potentially not be there for me to help with so he can go on a 3 day bender with his mates
) and I just think if I can get these sorted, I can relax more...
Thank you sooo much in advance if anyone can help!
