Harry

"thats it Mrs Styles little pants, thats the best way to help the pain. Harry was stood at the side not really knowing what to do and the midwife noticed this

"it may look silly Mr Styles but sometimes the mother likes to have the father next to her to encourage her so you join in too" She encouraged

Harry sloped over to your side nervously,  he soon put his arms around your waist and was soothing words into yout ear.

"well done, now maybe try doing the breathing exercises too" she said watching Harry roll his eyes

"much to cool for this" You giggled

Harry and the midwife laughed yet she stayed there and Harry knew she meant business so he soon started doing little pants next to you and deep breaths

"well done Mr Styles you will be a perfect birthing partener" the midwife laughed moving on.
(A/N quite short think most of them will be!  :/)

Louis

"Hello and welcome to 'im having twins 101' class, my name is Laura" one of the women said

"and im Holly" the other said "ok so havinh twins is going to obviously going to be harder, two crying babies, more washing and more stinky nappies" the nurse continued

"she's making me feel great" you mumbled

"you, I mean we will be fine" Louis whispered in your ear

"its not to bad, everyone is in a couple so even if the babies are both crying one can deal with one baby and the other can deal with the other baby"

------------------------------------------

After around half an hour of talking all the women were dying for the toliet so they finished there speech then you all dashed for the toliet.  When we came back we started with putting the nappy on, we were told how to do it and it looked easy

"easy" Louis scoffed

Now we were stood here, everyone sorted perfectly even you but Louis had one of the sticky tabs stuck to his forehead and the nappy on the wrong way round..

"Maybe some more practise is needed Mr Tomlinsom" Laura laughed

Liam

" Before active labour starts, your body goes through some changes in preparation, so it's not always easy to tell exactly when labour has started.

Hormones also cause you to have contractions. The muscles in your womb tense and relax becoming shorter so that your cervix stretches and dialetes. Contractions feel like a wave. They start gently and gradually build, becoming intense and then easing off. It may take some time for the contractions to become regular but they will gradually get stronger and closer together.

The first stage of labour continues until your cervix is fully dilated, about 10cm, allowing the baby to move lower through your pelvis. For women having their first baby, labour usually lasts longer

Next is the second stage, as you push, your baby moves further down through your pelvis until his or her head stays at the entrance to your vagina between contractions. This is called 'crowning' and means your baby is about to be born. Usually, the head is born first followed by the shoulders and the rest of the body.

This is when the placenta and membranes that held your baby in the womb are passed out of your body. You can let this happen naturally or you can be given a medicine to help the process

As your baby's shoulders are being born, you will be given an injection of a hormone called oxytocin, or a combination of oxytocin and a medicine called ergometrine. Within about two minutes, these cause your womb to contract strongly to help reduce serious bleeding. The umbilical cord is clamped and cut as soon as your baby is born. The midwife or doctor will then deliver the placenta by pulling gently with one hand on the part of the umbilical cord that is still attached to it" the midwife said, needing to catch her breath after her big speech

You looked over at Liam and he had a look of pure shock on his face and worry

"its ok babe" you giggled

Liams eyes flicked to yours

"I don't want you going through that" he moaned resting his head against your shoulder

"its alright im a tough girl" you said before giving him a kiss

(A/N a bit of information on child birth :o)

Zayn

You and Zayn had been looking up whys to induce labour

"acupuncture, this is when needles are placed in parts of the body, it is thought to stimulate energy in the body" Zayn said

"Noo!" you cried, you hated needles

"oh yeah sorry baby" Zayn laughed and you give him a playful glare

"next is eating hot foods like curry, spicy food is a stimulant for your tummy and therefore your uterus" Zayn said reading through his phone

"I guess i do like curry, I will eat you because you want to be Rogan Josh" you giggled
(A/N the Rogan Josh thing, to understand you need to have watched the X-Factor diaries)

It was Zayn's turn to give you a playful glare before joining you laughing

"your mum could help there" you smiled and Zayn nodded

"next is pineapple, pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain which is thought to help soften your cervix and bring on labour. Eating large amounts will probably stimulate your tummy, which could also stimulate your uterus" Zayn said getting it some of the words wrong

You laughed again but Zayn stook his tongue out at you and it made you laugh even more

"next is nipple stimilation" Zayn said slowly before laughing

You grabbed the phone and read it
Nipple stimulation is when you gently rub or roll your nipples to encourage the start of contractions. The idea is to stimulate the suckling of your baby. This releases oxytocin, a hormone which causes contractions to start.

You laughed reading it then passed it for Zayn to read

"just carry on" you said rolling your eyes at Zayn

"last..ohh" Zayn said a big grin tugging at his lips, his brown eyes lighting up

"Sex! trigger the release of oxytocin, a hormone which causes contractions. Having an orgasm could also stimulate your uterus to get labour going..I like this one" Zayn smirked

Niall

You shuffled across the hospital floor, the smell of the clean hospital hitting you noise. Next to you Niall walked nervously too, his shoes squeaking on the shiny floor, this took squeaky clean to a new level!

"this way Mr and Mrs Horan" the midwife lead.

As a part of your childbirth lessons you had to look around a hospital, but it was so akward because it was just you and Niall because there was a teenage pregnant girl that went to the same classes as you and Niall and she loved him so he requested we do this alone

"come in" the midwife said

"as you can see, this is the delivery room,  over there is where the strap will go around your belly getting your baby's heart beat" she explained "over there is the stirrups if we need your legs elevated for the labour" the midwife nodded You nodded looking around the room "you will find the beds extremely comfy for your stay here" she continued beckoning you to try out the bed. Sitting down you let out a groan as all the weight was lifted of your swollen ankles
"thats all thats really in here as you don't need much for childbirth if you keep it completely natural" the midwife smiled
