Even though I have given birth before, I feel stupid and also that my lack of knowledge ruined my last labour, and also panicking and not knowing how to deal with it, it felt much worse than it should have I think.
Obviously it hurts like hell and everyone suffers but I didn't feel any progress whatsoever, like you see on the labour shows where you see them getting through their contractions and their pushing actually does something. I was pushing for 2 hours, had to do the whole thing with no pain relief (I will make sure they don't refuse me this time). Also begged for forceps and ended up with them and an episiotomy cos I personally think I was too weak to push as I should have done.
Has anyone got any tips on how to make me feel I have SOME control when it happens again. I am honestly panicking already worrying about it.
