Aww bloody hell! ALl sounds a bit hectic! I think it was only my midwife who stopped me from having a sevction. The miserable arse of a doctor was sat there just waiting to take me off to theater, just to get it over and done with.
Did you find gas and air worked? ALl it done to me was give me spack hands, lol. They were literally stuck in a crab claw like position, i couldnt hold the gas and air, i couldnt hold my drink, lol. I had to grip everything between my two thumbs, lol.
Was Albert b2b? Finn wasnt but each contraction hurt slightly at the front for a second, then my back was just sheer agony for the rest of it.
