My pics start a bit late... I had a fast & furious labour!
Can't thank my mum enough for taking these, brings it all back looking at them.
Wish I could do it all again!
In transition leaning over the bed.
I was about 9.5cm with anterior lip by this point and asking for an epidural, pmsl!
(obviously no time for an epi now, lol!!)

A short while later, ready to push! (had to get on my back as all fours seemed to be hurting my spine/pelvis)

Pushing!

A few minutes later... Sid is born! Still posterior (hence why my back/pelvis was hurting! )

I just thought to myself what a cute little baby that is in your profile pic, then saw she is called Summer Rose like my DD
=)
Baby was posterior (back to back) and it took forever (30 hours)...100% back labor..i hope this time doesn't take so long and without the back labor!
1.) active labor...this was about 15ish hours into labor (maybe 8-9pm). Id say 6CM. I instinctually did a TON of hands knees/leaning over. I would float in the water on my back, but when a contraction started i would flip (back labor is NO joke ...FAR worse than "regular labor")
2.) a little graphic but oh well! Thats my mom and hubby ...23 hours into labor, transition
3.) transition (lasted 9 hours ...thats def NOT as quick as they say it should be!)...about 24 hours into labor. Sleeping in between contractions.
4.) pushing. I used many different positions! It took me 6 hours! Thats sunnyside up babies are killer
5.) 30 hours later and he finally arrived!
