Hey ladies,
I'm just watching OBEM and the ladies on here have all had these stress free, calm labours, and I was just thinking back on mine with ds. I was probably every MWs nightmare coz I was yelling and wouldn't listen to them, and started asking for an epidural after 45 mins of contractions lol! I was only in active labour for an hour and a half though before I was fully dilated so I got to transition pretty soon. But I just remember feeling really out of control of myself from very early on! Ds was b2b too which probably didn't help plus my waters had been broken before any contractions started. I did better once I started pushing but then became exhausted and just kept asking if he was nearly here lol, guess I was hoping I'd be one of the lucky ones who would just push baby out in 2 pushes but 2 hours of pushing later and the doctors had to use forceps coz he was stuck and in distress. My MW even called me impatient at one point!!
Anyone else feel like they could have coped better?
One thing I am proud of though is that somehow I didn't swear once lol!!
