congrats xx
So anyway I get to the pushing stage and by this time my pethidine had 'worn off' and they didn't want me to have any gas and air as I wouldn't know when to push so I had to deliver with sod all drugs and I swear if the doctor said 'go on you can push harder than that' one more time I was going to punch him in the face!

Brief rant: Seriously, if a MALE doctor said that to me while I was pushing, I would have told him off in no-uncertain terms. How the F*** would he know- he's obviously not given birth!!! Don't F***ing criticise a woman whose birthing a child!!
you're a saint for not decking him IMMEDIATELY when he said that- an absolute SAINT IMHO!
Okay, now that I got that off my chest- congrats on your lovely baby!!!!

LOL that was my point exactly. The midwife wasn't much better though. For one contraction I made a funny noise (yes I may have sounded like some creature from the dead, but I was trying my best) and she told me to 'stop making that silly noise' as I'll hurt my throat - yes because possibly having to by some strepsils afterwards was a really concern of mine.
