Secondly congratulations in advance I really hope that you have a very easy and almost painless birthing experience. Please do let me know how it all went for you. I bet you are excited and can't wait to see and hold your new bundle of joy. I've always been told that whatever you go thru during pregnancy and the birth becomes all worth it when you see your baby finally. Are you going to have a boy or girl?

To everybody - thanks again for all your input, I'm so glad I decided to sign up and ask you guys the question that's been niggling on my mind since I found out I was expecting. Now my boyfriend doesn't have to put up with me telling him all the time that I'm scared to give birth here and I want us to go to the Philippines for it Cheers everyone!!
thanks ekks.. but im not sure though if im going to have an easy birthing experience because my midwife told me last week that my baby might weigh 8pounds and a half. Unless im going to have a cs procedure which is the last thing on my mind...

But in the long run, i dont mind really as long as my baby is safe and healthy, that's all that matters to me. Yes ekks, my husband and i are really looking forward to our baby boy... We're really excited about it... Good luck to us and i hope you will get through with the morning sickness and that you will have a safe delivery and a healthy baby...
