Charlotte you would have hated to have my birth then, considering i got to 9cm with out knowing i was in labour i ended up with a fair bit of intervention but at my hospital they only step in if needed so you know they have yours and babys best interests in mind.

How have you been other than the expected tired?
How is Aimee with Alex? xx
The idea of needing to be induced scares the hell out of me. Plus needing to be cut, any kind of metal instrument and a c section... so really I could do with being a cat and giving birth in the corner of a living room 
But isn't it crazy that in the third world the majority of women give birth completely unaided medically, in a calm environment with no needfor intervention?! But yet in the developed world such a high percentage of women end up needing intervention of some sort?! Not wanting to start a debate or anything but it's something I feel very strongly about. Women who have nothing have some of the best labours, yet we who have free healthcare whenever we want it end up needing so much help!

In the end i ended up with a drip as my contractions stopped once i got to 10cm, i had an episiotomy to get her out quicker cos her heart rate was all over the place as she was crowining and when her shoulders got stuck i got shoved in a position that i have never and wont ever get myself into again with 3 people pushing on my tummy and this big black doctor who had his hands that looked as big as my feet up my foof trying to unstick her shoulder.
I wish i had just needed forceps lol

Thing is though ducky because of lack of medical intervention there are also a lot more childbirth related deaths so it's 6 of one and half a dozen of the other I think. Were lucky we can have the choice most of the time unless the baby is in any danger of course

I had a drip too lozzy to help speed it up, but i imagine the rest was very scarey!
I dont like the thought of having to have my body restrained whatsoever, or stirrups lol

Its cos most women in the 3rd world dont have access to epidurals and they are what increases the need for intervention, that and the fact they stay active during there labour so baby is in the best position rather than being laid on a bed.

Ouch Lozzy! All I can say is I'm having an epi
hehe my epidural was ace! the pain went instantly, but i want to try without it this time as i hated not being able to just move after or go home, and the catheter ect.

Charlotte, the only time i was strapped in the stirups whas when i was having my stiches thank god, id have hated it during labour.
Ness give labour a go, you never know how you will cope. I dont think it hurt. Yer it was uncomfortable but i wouldent say it was agony. The only part i found was agony was when they were pushing on my tummy trying to unstick her shoulder, the rest was barable.
And your more likely to need forceps and an emergancy section with an epi
